Applying mandatory fields

When creating a Record Log, fields can be made mandatory by ticking the selection beneath the field you have chosen in the Task Editor.
​

This requires users to input essential information in the field before completing a task, mandatory fields help ensure that no important details are overlooked or omitted.

In addition to ensuring task completeness, mandatory fields play a crucial role in improving task accuracy by reducing the likelihood of errors or discrepancies.

You can spot mandatory fields by the red asterisk next to the field. You'll also see a warning message in the Record Log if a user attempts to complete the task without filling out the mandatory field.

If needed, the warning message beneath an incomplete mandatory field can be edited where the setting is applied:
