Make an Attribute Only Required for New Entities

Some attribute types are required. If you are the ICM system administrator, you can set these attribute types to only be required when a user creates a new entity.

This enables users to edit existing entities without having to enter data for that attribute.

 

How do I know whether an attribute is always required, or only required when a new entity is created?

Look for the number of asterisks * in the attribute lists:

  • One asterisk * means the attribute is always required

  • Two asterisks ** mean the attribute is only required when new entities are created
