   No Duplicates	Select the No Duplicates check box to prevent prospects having the same data for the field. A warning message appears if you try to save data that has been entered for another prospect.

   Auto Alert	Select the Auto Alert check box to have an alert message appear when you click a prospect who has data in the field.
   Requirement Linked	Select the Requirement Linked check box if the field is linked to a requirement. For example, if the field is named Application Submitted, and that's a requirement for your admissions process. Choose the requirement the field is linked to from the drop-down list, and then click Set Requirement Validation List (Edit Entries) to create the list of data that can be selected for the field. For the previous example, the list could be Yes and No.
   Set Validation	Choose who can enter data for the field (Not Validated, Anyone, or Supervisor Only). If you validate the field, click Set Validation List (Edit Entries) to create the list of data that can be selected for the field.
   Field Case	Choose a field case. Data entered for the field changes to the selected case when saved.
   Auto Fill	Optional: Type the data you want automatically entered for the field. For example, if most or all prospects live in the United States, you can have United States automatically entered for the Country field. You can edit the field data for the few prospects who differ.
