Some CRM fields may be important to your business processes, therefore ensuring your users are completing these fields is crucial. Using the Customiser, you can make fields mandatory by marking them as required. Users will then be forced to complete these fields before closing the CRM record. A great example of this is ensuring your users add a company's phone number by making it a required field.
Prerequisites
You'll need CRM Admin rights in order to follow the steps in this article
Step 1: Accessing Customiser
Navigate to the record that includes the field that you wish to make mandatory. For example, if we wanted to make the Company Phone Number field mandatory we would navigate to a Company record. Once on the record, click the three dots in the top right-hand corner and select 'Customise' from the drop-down.
Step 2: Choosing Fields to Make Mandatory
By clicking the Customise option, the record that you're on will be shown in edit mode. Click the spanner icon next to the field that you wish to make mandatory.
Step 3- Mark Field as Required
Within the pop-up, tick the 'Required' flag and press 'OK'.
Step 4: Save Changes
Once you've made all of the necessary fields mandatory, remember to click the Save icon located in the top right-hand corner to save your changes.
Now, when a user accesses a record that includes that mandatory field, they'll not be able to close the record without adding the required information.
Please Note this will update in all contact records.
