Customise mandatory fields per citation type
Currently the only mandatory field for a citation is "Title". We would like to be able to customise which fields are mandatory depending on the item type, so that instructors are prompted to fill out more than just the title when adding items from outside of our collections.
We often find tutors fill out the title and add a URL, but if that URL breaks then just the title isn’t always sufficient information to find a new link to the resource. Having just the title also doesn't give students much information to work with when judging which resources to engage with.
On the 'Citation Field Mapping' screen we can choose which fields show for each item type so perhaps we could select mandatory fields here too.
This functionality available in October release.
