Which fields in the Site Diary tool can be configured as required, optional or hidden?

Background

Certain fields in the Site Diary tool can be configured as required, optional or hidden. For example, if you want to make comments required or hide a section that is not relevant to you and your team, you can configure these preferences in the Company level Admin tool and then apply them to one or more projects. See Create New Configurable Fieldsets.
