Using Icons in Data Entry Forms
From ISV Support Wiki
Find these fields and icons in the platform:
Contents |
Required Field
Required fields are highlighted to indicate that data input is required. If a Required field is empty and an action is taken on the record (Edit and Save for example), an Error Message is displayed. To change the attributes of a field, see the Display Attributes section in Edit Field Properties.
 | 
| Required fields are highlighted with a green bar to the left side of the field. |
| Fields without a highlight are optional |
- Considerations
- Checkbox fields are not eligible as Required fields
Error Message
Error Messages are displayed when additional information is needed, or the data you entered does not meet the field format or criteria.
Wrench Icon
The Wrench icon 
provides different options, depending on the current context. Think of it as "context-sensitive" tooling.
Lookup Icon
A Lookup field can be identified in a form by the appearance of a Lookup icon 
. The Lookup icon is used in data entry to view and select items from a Lookup Window.
Optionally, use the Auto-Completion for Lookup Fields option for faster data entry in Lookup fields.
