Required Fields

Question:

How do I make certain fields in a module required?

Answer:

With your cursor in that field, Right - click + Ctrl and select Field Properties. Mark the Required checkbox, and click "Save."  This will make data entry in that field required.

Question:

I set a default value (or made a field required) and now that I've closed the module, it is no longer a required field. Why?

Answer:

Any time you make a field required, set a default value, or checked the Allow Data Entry box, you must close Lucity entirely and reopen the program for changes to take effect. This is required of all users.

Question:

I made the Date and Time fields required, but they do not appear in the required color.  Why?

Answer:

Although the date and times fields do not appear in the required color, they will flash in that color when a user tries to save a record without filling in those fields.
