People Planning new hire entry

[prash4030]

Hello Expert,

Is it possible to make employee register fields mandatory? we want users to select certain required fields before committing save. 

Let me know,

thank you

Yes, you can. you can change the color of the register fields to differentiate between read-only and allow-updates fields. You can add validation checks in the custom Event People Planning Business rule to check if the required fields have the values before saving the new entry by the planner.

hi,

thank you for your reply.

i tried to figure this out through documentation on events but no luck. i configured the reference assembly for PLP Solution helper (as per documentation). do i need to use SaveRegisterRows to validate? and how to pass field names as parameter and in case of missing value, want to show a msgBox.

would really appreciate any guidance.

It depends on the requirements where and what you want to do. In my case I added validation checks in both BeforeSaveDataEvent. 

Below is a small example:

If (args.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("SaveRegisterRows")) Then

Dim saveDataTaskInfo = New XFSqlTableEditorSaveDataTaskInfo

    saveDataTaskInfo = args.SqlTableEditorSaveDataTaskInfo

    For Each xfRow As XFEditedDataRow In saveDataTaskInfo.EditedDataRows

        If xfRow.InsertUpdateOrDelete = DbInsUpdateDelType.Insert OrElse xfRow.InsertUpdateOrDelete = DbInsUpdateDelType.Update Then

Dim status As String = xfRow.ModifiedDataRow.Item("Status") 

If (String.IsNullOrEmpty(JobTitle) Or JobTitle.XFContainsIgnoreCase("TBD")) Then

isError = True

             errorMessage = errorMessage & Environment.NewLine & "Job Title cannot be blank or TBD for RegisterID: ...."."

End If

Next

....

At the end of the code throw the exception...Is the above condition is met then a popup message will showup when planner clicks on the save.
