Mandatory Data Fields

Mandatory (Required) elements have to be filled in by the client in order to finish and submit an engagement.

Updated this week

If you want to make your field require an input, enter the template editor of your template.

Locate the field you wish to make mandatory and click on the pencil icon.
​ 

 Once the element details appear click the Yes radio button under Mandatory Field.
​ 

Once selected click on Save changes.  The field will have a red asterisk next to it indicating it is mandatory.


Default mandatory fields will not allow the client to 'close/complete' the engagement by clicking 'Finish' at the end and will instead bring them to the earliest unfulfilled mandatory field on the engagement.

Prevent Navigation When Validation Fails


Enable the 'Prevent navigation when validation fails' option and the client / prospect will not be able to proceed to the next page until all mandatory elements on the page are fulfilled.

This setting is disabled by default on each template.

When enabled, you can select whether all navigation is prevented when a mandatory field is left unfulfilled, or certain navigation is allowed:


This will also bring up the option as to whether mandatory fields should be enforced when Previewing the engagement as a PreciseFP User:
