Skin form — Components tab — General — Errors

Styles set here determine the appearance of Labels for field-level errors. As a best practice, to make errors stand out visually, use fonts and background colors that contrast with those applied to other UI elements.

A preview of the currently selected format displays to the right. You can also preview formats by selecting Actions > Launch in the toolbar and then choosing one of the following preview options: Run Process, Open Portal, Harness Preview, UI Gallery Preview, Skin Preview. In the Skin Preview, click the Controls tab. Click in the Input (Required) field, and then click outside of the field. The error label displays.
