The Basic Information Questionnaire snippet provides a set of components designed to collect PII (personal identifiable information) from an end-user. Due to the sensitivity of PII, it is important to follow Security Best Practices when collecting information. The Basic Information Questionnaire snippet is available in the Marketplace and can be added to any environment.
There are a few ways you could customize the Basic Information Questionnaire snippet. You can set fields as required, so the end-user must complete a field before moving forward. You may want to add a Button component that saves the end-user's data in the database. You could add extra information fields to your snippet or change the order of the components. Perhaps some of the fields don't fit your needs, and you'd rather hide a few components. The beauty of snippets is that you can use them as a foundation. From there, you're free to customize and build whatever you want.

3.
From the side navigation panel, select Validation.

Under User Input, set Required to (ON).
5.
Click Save & Close.
6.
Save your module.
Now, the end-user must complete the required fields before they can navigate further.
