Question

I have created a custom table for my Repository using Exact SDT and uploaded it to the Exact Synergy Enterprise. How to set business component fields/properties to mandatory? For example, when users are filling a form in a page, fields should not be empty. Do SDT have this functionality?

Answer 1

You should use Repository Explorer to accomplish this task.

Please go to System tab on the main page menu where Customers, Documents, etc. are located. In case you can not find it, please make sure you enabled it using Preferences found in the top right corner of your page. Go to Menu tab and see under the Modules section to add your menu item using arrow buttons.

Now go to System tab, process to Setup tab and under the Repository section click Explorer. Go to your Repository group, click your business component and choose a property you want to set as mandatory. You will see a Validation section and a drop down list. Set it to Mandatory and click Save.

Now go back to your Repository group and to click XML button. It will save all changes to your Repository XML file.
