NOTE: This feature is available in the Essential, Professional, and Enterprise versions of both Spectra and Stratus Desktop.

The Data Entry
Validation options in Spectra and Stratus Desktop allow you to
select which fields require validation when entering data. You can select
any field from the list on the left side of the screen – fields from client, invoice,
production order, phone call, task, and session records – and choose a Validation
Option. Go to Maintenance
> General (Studio) > Data Entry Validations.

Validation options include:

• No Validation
  – Allows fields to be left blank.

• Prompt User
  – User will be prompted that the field is blank but will be allowed
  to continue.

• Required
  – User will not be allowed to continue without entering something
  into the field.

Validation is performed when you click Next
during wizards, and also when you attempt to save an open record. Validation rules apply to all studio users.
