How to make a field mandatory?

[Support]

Here are two examples :-

This first example will show how to make the ROOM field mandatory on the Appointment Editor.

[1] Click TOOLS | SCRIPT EDITOR to show the Script Editor screen

[2] Locate “frmEditorApp” and the “OnBeforeSaveRecord” event

[3] Copy & Paste the following script into the Script Editor :-

frmEditorBaseRec Editor = (Params[0] as frmEditorBaseRec);

cApp app = (Editor.Record as cApp);

if (app.room_id == null)

{

throw new PSExc.FriendlyException("Please enter a ROOM for this Appointment", "Room is Required");

}

This example works on the “app.room_id” field but you could edit this script to work on a different field, for example change “app.room_id” to “app.staff_id” to enforce a STAFF MEMBER, or “app.apptype_id” to enforce an APPOINTMENT TYPE.

 

This second example will show how to make the REFERRED BY field mandatory on the Patient Editor.

[1] Click TOOLS | SCRIPT EDITOR to show the Script Editor screen

[2] Locate “frmEditorPatient” and the “OnBeforeSaveRecord” event

[3] Copy & Paste the following script into the Script Editor :-

frmEditorBaseRec Editor = (Params[0] as frmEditorBaseRec);

cPer per = (Editor.Record as cPer);

if (per.referredcat_id == null)

{

throw new PSExc.FriendlyException("Please select a REFERRED BY category for this Patient", "'Referred By Category' is Required");

}

We hope this is helpful! Please feel free to post a reply if you have any questions or need something to be clarified!
