A Mandatory field is a field that must be supplied. If a mandatory field does not have a value it is automatically also marked as Requested.
A Requested field is a field that may or may not be mandatory, and may or may not have a value, but for some reason has been requested (perhaps the instructor knows it is out of date).
In the Student Details window, many of the fields can be marked as either Mandatory or Requested.
In the example above, a Left-Click on the Marital Status field label made it a Requested field, and a Right-Click on the Nationality field label, made it a Mandatory Field (and as the field had no value, it was also marked as Requested automatically).
To mark a field as Mandatory
Click on the field label with the right mouse button. A mandatory fields label will be displayed in Bold.
Note: If the field has been requested, or is blank then it will be Bold and Red.
To mark a field as Requested
Click on the field label with the left mouse button. A requested fields label will be displayed in Red.
Note: If the field is also mandatory then it will be Bold and Red.
To remove a field marking
For either a Mandatory or a Requested field, simply click again on the label with the appropriate mouse button.
NOTE: Changes to Requested or Mandatory fields states for fields are instant, there is no need to save changes to the student for them to take effect.
