Enforce Mandatory Fields

Mandatory fields can be enforced at the point of saving a record. This means any of the selected fields will need to be completed before the record can be saved. You will be notified of which field needs filled out by a red highlight around the field inside the record.

Mandatory Fields

These can be set for each record type by first selecting it from the drop down. Once selected the options below will reflect the available fields to set as mandatory for that record type. Simply check the fields you wish to make mandatory.

In addition to being prompted to complete these fields at the point of creating records, you will also receive an alert when saving existing records that don’t match the mandatory criteria.
