Making an input widget mandatory or non-mandatory

You can make an input widget either mandatory or non-mandatory.

About this task

If you make an input widget mandatory, in Sterling Store Engagement, the field is prefixed with a * (star) symbol. For example, if you make the Enterprise field mandatory, it is displayed as * Enterprise. The users must select the enterprise for which they are creating an order. If you make a mandatory widget as non-mandatory, the * (star) symbol is not shown. For example, Enterprise, and does not mandate users to select the enterprise.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Sterling Store Engagement. The Home page opens.
  2. From the application header, click the Development Tools icon Customize a screen or panel, and select Customize from the list.

    Alternatively, you can select Customize from Outline. The Select screen to Extend window opens. The list of screens present in the current screen is displayed. For example, if you open the Order Search screen, the tree displays Order Search, Order List Screen, and others present in this screen.

    From the tree, select the screen that you want to customize, and click Extend Screen.
