====== 7.1.1. Provide an explicit label for each form field ======

An explicit label must be provided for each form field. 

<note>**Note**\\
If it is not practical to add a label for each field (lack of space in the mock-up, for example), there are other solutions that can be used later in the development phase (adding tooltips, for example). Nevertheless, this is a compromise solution that is less effective than directly optimizing the form field label.</note>
