Mandatory Fields/Form Labels

The Mandatory Fields/Form Labels utility enables you to make fields mandatory in the Client Details, Employee Details and Project Details screens.

It also enables you to change the default labels of certain fields. However, these label changes only apply to the particular screen you have selected in the Mandatory Fields utility. (For global label settings, see Label Options.)

For example, if you make the Address 1 field mandatory in the Client Details screen, you won't be able to save a client record unless something has been entered in the Address 1 field.

And if you enter the label 'Street Name' in the Address 1's Current Label field, the field will be labelled 'Street Name' when you are adding or editing a client details record.
