Add Mandatory Field Checking

 Previous  Home topic  Next  Print this topic Send Feedback

When a user submits their purchase request form, we will also check that certain fields have been answered before allowing the data to be submitted.

 

Note: Mandatory fields can also be managed in the Layout view by checking Mandatory Answer on the object properties. However, be aware that mandatory checks made in this way are not performed until the form is submitted.
