Must/Should Attributes

The Must/Should Attributes will allow an administrator to set a mandatory field, which means that a user will be required to provide data for that specific field.

Key Term:	Endpoint: a gateway that describes the system, processes and mapping to be used when onboarding or offboarding the products to and from the system.
Description:	This feature provides the functionality to set and classify fields to be either Mandatory or Optional. This feature allows the system to show a warning message if a mandatory field is left blank. The system still saves any changes done on the page.
Related topics:	Data Quality Rule
Application:	The feature prompts the types of field present on the page to prevent errors and minimize workload. The feature shows that a field is mandatory and will prevent validation errors upon submission. The feature shows that a field is optional and will allow a user to get through the process faster. Example: An administrator has to create a new user. While filling out details on the form like Username, Password, Emails, a notification message will show if those fields are left empty since these are mandatory and are required to be completed. Whereas, fields like Gender, First Name, etc. are optional fields and can be left blank.
