values are available:

Description

 

 

 

 

Mandatory

The field is mandatory for the endpoint. You must map

 

 

this field as the destination of a mapping from a field in

 

 

the other endpoint or map a constant value to the field.

 

 

A mandatory field that is unmapped causes an error

 

 

during an integrity check if entity creation is enabled

 

 

for the endpoint.

 

 

For a Quality Center endpoint, a field is Mandatory in

 

 

the Synchronizer if it is a required field in

 

 

Quality Center but not given a default value in

 

 

Quality Center when a record is created.
