Search fields

The upper section contains the search fields.

The details for each required field type are explained here:

If checkboxes are activated, the entry is considered in the search result.

Field FIX

Use the dropdown FIX to search for fixed/non-fixed required fields. The default value is NO.

Entry and modification of datasets

The middle section displays the search result. Here you enter or edit datasets and determine when these required fields are to take effect.

As usual, you use the local menu to add/insert/delete or copy lines.
You can arrange the order of the columns according to your needs and save the layout settings.

The current client is irrelevant for the entry of required fields.
