Maintaining Required Fields

Maintaining Required Fields

Note: If you are running FIMS in single-window mode, you will be able to maintain required fields in all modules. If you are running FIMS in multiple-window mode, you will have to repeat this process for each separate window where you want to maintain required fields.

1. From anywhere in FIMS, select Tools > System Utilities > Maintain Required Fields. A confirmation window opens to inform you that you are enabled to maintain required fields.

2. Right-click inside a data entry field that you want to require and select Required from the menu that pops up. A highlight appears around the field label.

Example: Highlighted Required Fields

3. Repeat step 2 for each required field you want to highlight.

Note: If you want to remove the highlight, right-click in a highlighted entry field and select Required again.
