Hello,
does anyone have experience with the handling of mandatory fields in EnterprisePDM?
My question is, because when you have mandatory fields in a drawing data card, you cannot check in these documents, because of the sheet1 tab.
At the moment i solve this problem with min./max. value fields. Has someone a solution or a workaround?
Cheers Nicole
Some companies take a different approach. They will make fields mandatory as a condition of a workflow. (i.e. a document can't get sent to the next state until X is not empty.)
The thing I like about this method is that it doesn't force a user to come up with a value if he doesn't know it yet, or maybe isn't even sure that this part is ever going to make it to "prime time". He can play a little looser...then, later, if the part is good to go, then the fields must be filled in before the document can go through his company.
