Required Fields

Required fields are those fields on a record that must contain a value in order for the record to be saved. For example, all records require an identifier—a work order number for work orders, an item number or name for inventory items, and so on. Most records have one or more additional required fields.

Required fields are marked by an asterisk (*).

When you create a new record, some of the required fields might be filled in by default. The default information might be provided by your system administrator, or it might be associated with your own user record (your record in the Labor application). Some required fields with default information can be edited, and others are read-only.

If you try to save a record whose required fields are not filled in, the system displays a message that tells you that required information is missing.
