*REQ and *OPT
*REQ and *OPT are values in the Values field (ATIV) on the Cross Segment Edit Group Revision form. Dynamic configuration using *REQ and *OPT in cross-segment editing rules use the following rules processing logic:
Changes the segment attribute for Required To Be. Required To Be refers to the Req (required or optional) field (ATRQ) on the Configured Item Segments Revision form (W3291L).
If the *REQ or *OPT value is set up and dynamic configuration is enabled, then the system changes the attribute of the corresponding segment to either required or optional regardless of how the field is defined in the Configured Item Segments program (P3291). The segment attribute in the Req/Opt field on the Configure Item form changes during configured item order entry, as follows:
*REQ: The system displays and evaluates the segment as required.
*OPT: The system displays and evaluates the segment as optional.
Is set up only with a relationship logic value of Equal To (EQ) in the Rel (relationship) field.
Is set up only with selection logic value equal to Then (*) or Else (E) in the OP (operand) field.
Uses standalone to populate the valid values list in the Select Answer field on the Configure Item form with all UDC values.
Is used in conjunction with *VALUES to limit the list of valid values in the Select Answer field on the Configure Item form.
