Labels
Effective form labelling helps users to understand which information to enter into a form input.
A common method of space saving is using placeholder text as a label. However, this is not recommended because it hides context and can present accessibility issues. The use of placeholder labels should be restricted to forms where the field purpose is a universal standard, and where accessibility can be guaranteed, e.g. login forms.
Provide a text label, above or next to its associated field and left aligned to its associated field. Checkboxes and Radio Buttons are exceptions to this rule.
In situations where horizontal UI space is limited, or responsive design is used, render the label above its associated field.
Ensure that all labels and associated fields are vertically aligned as columns in a table.

Use the Verint error color with the star symbol to identify its necessity.
