Workflows for Master Approvals

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by GDP 274

I have a scenario that if X field is blank in Master record before sending it to approve it will restrict the user to fill the field.

Is it possible in by workflow by Standard or without writing any code?

    If you want a notification message which alerts the user of the data missing for a specific field then you need to write code, else it not possible.

    Why do you want to make this verification only when user sends it for approval? Can you make this field mandatory one already at the initial filling stage?

    Hi,

    You can write a line of code for this requirement on your action button which sends the document for approval which has to be written as the first line on this action.

    TESTFIELD(X)

    This code checks if the field X is blank or not. If it is blank an error pops up to fill the field.

    Hi

    You can write in the workflow condition itself, the workflow will then run for non-blank values only

    You can write a small code on Action button of workflow before sending to workflow condition i.e.

    TESTFILED(X)

    You can set condition in workflow to check X<>blank, but it will not pop up any message if X = Blank.
