Configure a CI field as mandatory so it is included in the CMDB Health tests for the
required metric if enabled. Required is a
sub-metric of the CMDB Health completeness metric.
When a field is configured as mandatory, the CMDB health tests check whether the
field is populated or not. The CI dashboard then displays the number of required
fields that are left empty. The CMDB dashboard displays the aggregated report of the
percentage of CIs for which one or more required fields is empty.
