Setting required field project options

You can configure text formatting for required field labels and enforce required fields in items.

1. Choose Tools > Administration > Project Options.

The Project Options dialog box opens.

2. Select Required from the Fields category.

3. Select any Required Field Identification options to change the appearance of required field labels in the Helix ALM Client.

Select a color from the list or click the Select Color button to choose a color. Selecting a specific color may make fields difficult to read because of user color schemes.

4. Select Enforce required fields even if field security prevents editing to prevent users from saving items that they do not have permission to view or edit with empty required fields.

Only select this option if all required fields must be set when items are added or edited. For example, if the issue Priority field is required and can only be edited by users in the Administration security group, selecting this option prevents users in other security groups from adding issues.

5. Click OK to save the changes.
