we wants to configure Required Attributes for Windows server class

[pavan garige]

HI All,

We wants to configure Required attributes for windows server table, however we could see only recommended attributes in windows server table in CI class manager(CI class manager - Health -Completeness -not finding required attribute tab, only we could see Recommended tab).
can anyone helps me to know why 'Required' attribute is not showing in below path
CI class manager - Health -Completeness - no required attribute?

This is not done thought CI Class manager. To make a field required you just need to make is a mandatory field in the UI.

I believe that making it mandatory on the UI and making it mandatory from a CMDB quality point of view are independent of each other. For example you could make it mandatory to enter on the UI form, but if you look at the Class attributes in CI class manager it may show as Non mandatory .  

Update it against the CI attribute in the Class Manager should work.  If you only want it on the particular Class on not the base  cmdb_ci table , then you can use a dictionary override for that lower level table e.g. cmdb_ci_computer

Steps to Make an Attribute Mandatory:

1. Navigate to CI Class Manager:

   • Go to All > Configuration > CI Class Manager.

2. Select Hierarchy:

   • In the CI Class Manager, select Hierarchy to display the list of CI Classes.

3. Choose the CI Class:

   • Select the class that contains the field/attribute you want to set as mandatory.

4. Open the Class Info:

   • In the Class Info section of the navigation bar, expand it, and then select Attributes.

5. Access the 'Added' Tab:

   • Within the Attributes section, click on the Added tab.

6. Set Attribute as Mandatory:

   • Locate the attribute you wish to make mandatory.
   • Double-click the Mandatory value for that attribute.
   • Change it to true.

7. Save the Changes:

   • Once the Mandatory value is set to true, the attribute will now be marked as mandatory.

Please mark any helpful or correct solutions as such. That helps others find their solutions.

This only works for custom fields. If you want to make any of the out of the box fields mandatory you have to do it via the UI.
