From Vantage Help:
How do I set up a required field?
Purpose
You can indicate that a field is required, or mandatory, by using the
Rule Wizard
<file://vantage-db/epicor/mfgsys80/Help/enu/Vantage/User_Preferences/Cus\
tomWizardRule.htm> . You do this by first creating a mandatory rule and
then adding a mandatory rule action to it. Here's how:
1.
Within the Customization Tools Dialog, click on the Wizards tab and the
Rule Wizard tab.
2.
Click the New Row Rule button.
3.
For the Rule Description field, enter a description that indicates this
is a mandatory row rule. For example: MyMandatoryRule
4.
Now on the Select View list, choose the table, or dataView, that
contains the field you want to make mandatory. For example: ShipVia
5.
Set up the rule condition so the Select Field is always equal to itself.
To do this, select the same option for the Select Field and Rule Value
lists and then select Equals for the rule condition.
Example: You want the Web Description field to be mandatory on the Ship
Via Maintenance form. Because this is a character field, you choose
these options in the following fields:
-Select Field: Character01
-Rule Condition: Equals
-Rule Value: Character01
This makes the field mandatory, as the rule condition
Character01=Character01 will always evaluate to true.
1.
Click the Right Arrow button to add the rule to the Custom Row Rules
list.
2.
Now click the New Rule Action button.
3.
In the Select Field list, choose the field that you want to be
mandatory. For example: WebDesc
4.
Next, in the Setting Styles list, select the Mandatory option.
5.
Click the Right Arrow button to add this file to the Custom Rule Actions
list.
6.
Click the Update button.
Now when users try to save a record and the selected field is blank, an
Application Error message will appear. In the example below, the user
tried to save a Ship Via record without entering a Web Description.
