Completing Required Fields

Some Vantagepoint forms, tabs, and dialog boxes require data in certain fields before you can save, select another record, go to another tab, or close the form.

Required Fields

The required fields are indicated by a red star and yellow background. Tabs that have required fields may also display with a red star next to the tab name. When you enter data on a form, tab, or dialog box, there are two methods for saving: clicking the Save button to initiate the save process, or on some forms, particularly when you enter additional information for a previously saved record, Vantagepoint saves your work automatically. You do not have to explicitly initiate the save process. See the Saving Your Work help topic for more information.

For either type of save, if you initiate a save and an entry is missing in a required field or an entry is not valid, Vantagepoint displays a message that describes the problem and highlights the field that caused the save to fail so you can correct it. Incomplete fields are identified with one or more of the following: a red star, red border, red inline text, and/or yellow background.

The message gives you the option to continue without saving, in which case your unsaved work is discarded, or you can cancel the message and correct the invalid or missing entry.
