A field can be set as mandatory from the screen designer. This is found in additional settings

When you click the Screen Design option, choose the relevant module and click the link. You will then be taken to the screen designer page.

The screen designer lists, by block, the fields for that module.

Note that the order of the blocks may not necessarily match the order of the blocks on screen when you are in edit/view mode on the module.

To flag a field as mandatory, simply find the relevant field and tick the "Mandatory" tick box.

Finally click the "Update" button to save.

• A tab count shows a " * " and no value, A tab count shows " ~ ". Large tab counts seem a bit inaccurate. How does tab count caching work? Why does opening a record with a large number of linked items take a long time? Why can I only see 1000 records in linked grids?
