Required Fields
This feature allows you to define which fields across Ostendo are ‘mandatory’ entry fields. If the User does not enter data into this field in the designated screen then an error message will be returned. A user-defined Display Field Name can be entered here and this will be output to the error message panel. For order screens like Job Orders and Sales Orders, an Order is still created - but with OrderStatus = "Planned".
