The Missing Mandatory Values search criteria is used for finding Product objects that have valid Mandatory Specification attributes without values.
To set a criteria as a Missing Mandatory Values search:
- Click on the Search tab and click the Search dropdown.
- Select Missing Mandatory Values from the dropdown.
Use Cases
- Product object which has specification and description attribute as mandatory with empty values.
The 'Product Name' attribute is set as mandatory for Item Object Types. For Object 22200, the attribute value is left empty. In the Advanced Search tab, Missing Mandatory Values search criteria is used with Object Type ‘ProductsRoot’ search criteria. 22200 is included in the search results.
- Description attribute is mandatory and is left blank on entity object.
In this example, the 'Available Sizes' description attribute is set to mandatory. On the address entity ADD_107837, the 'Available Sizes' attribute is empty. A search is performed that has a 'Missing Mandatory Values' search criteria with Object Type ‘Entity root’ search criteria. The ADD_107837 object is returned as a result.
The search criteria requires no data input or selections to be made. However, it is encouraged to use in conjunction with another search criteria (by clicking the green + sign) to help further refine the search.
Note: As the Missing Mandatory Values search criteria only works on Product objects, using it in combination with other search criteria will limit the search result to such objects.
The Missing Mandatory Values search criteria can also be set to exclude Product objects with missing Mandatory values. This functionality is described in Using Exclude Search Criteria within the Search Functionality topic here.
