I was wondering how to make a field required in VFE? for example I want to make user fill out the exam date before they can move forward.
Thanks, Jude
Double click on the form name bar, or the desired tab. Select the "Use Page Close Handler" check box, check for missing data in MEL. Please note, there is a glitch in current CPS, by clicking the vertical side navigation bars, the Page Close Handler routine is circumvented. Page Close Handler is invoked by clicking Previous Form or Next Form, clicking a new tab on the form, or clicking the Close button.
if the form is a single page form it won't matter though, because they can just click end and still sign or hold the document
When I double click on the tab and check the "Use page close handler" I click ok and I get a message saying "expression must be entered if using page close handler". Any idea what this mean?s
Thanks, Jude
if you want to make a specific field required, go to that field, click the "Advanced" tab, and where it says "Automated Page Close Handling", check the radio button for "Warning" or "Force". I always check the box marked "change appearance".
On a related note, using the page close handler MEL section as aforementioned, I want to set a password lock within a single page form. If the password is incorrect, the page will not close. Any idea how to do this? I tried
if document.password "abc" then closepage(FALSE)
else closepage(TRUE)
endif
but that didnt work. Thanks in advance.
Thank you all. Jude
