The difference between mandatory and non-mandatory questions are as follows:
- Mandatory questions need to be answered for the profile to be either submitted or published. You will be blocked from submitting or publishing a profile until all mandatory questions are filled out.
- Non-mandatory questions are optional to be filled out and can be left unanswered when submitting or publishing a profile.
Identifying when a question is mandatory
All mandatory questions will have a small orange star on the right-hand side of the question, to identify that it needs to be filled in, to submit or publish the profile.
If the Profile Admin or approver of a supplier attempts to submit a record without filling in all mandatory questions, an error will appear on the profile to show the user what needs to be filled out.
