You might try setting "Server Information - Configuration - Use Prompt Bar for" 
to "All System Messages" so that everything shows up in the mid-tier page 
heading.

Subject: Avoiding pop-ups while requiring input

We're rolling out an app for staff that normally don't use Remedy, and a 
usability concern is browser pop-up blockers.   (I know the login page warns 
about pop-ups, but I've seen it ignored & I've done it myself.)  This is a 
rather detailed Remedy form, and if they get a pop-up & have to reload the 
page, the user input is lost.

I took out "message" actions from my workflow to avoid this, but there are 
still Required fields:  if left blank, they use a pop-up box.

Does anyone have a creative way for getting around this for required fields?  
Maybe some trick where the fields are not really required on the database side, 
but not sure how ensure they are populated without using a message to the user. 
 Or something else I can do?

David
