Madatory Search Option

rbuser

I am using RB10.07 and D7.

My program clears autosearch search criteria and prompts for the desired
values to pass to the report. If a user wants search critria to not get
cleared, I instruct them the select the Mandatory option.
However, for some reason if you select Blank or Not Blank in the search
dialog, the Mandatory option becomes disabled. Is this by design or is this
a bug and if so is there a fix for it?

Thanks.

Hi Bob,

If the manditory option is selected, the user is required to enter a value
for the autosearch condition (and the show all option is disabled). Since
the blank and not blank options do not need a value, the manditory option is
not needed. I would suggest giving your users the option to keep the
autosearch criteria before you clear it in a separate dialog perhaps.

Ok, I misunderstood the purpose of the mandatory option. I will have to
rethink my approach to user definable search criteria.

Thanks,
