Specify Import Entity View Optionality

All views in the Import view subset must be optional or mandatory. If you specify mandatory, each component attribute view must have a value when the process to which it belongs begins execution.

If you specify optional, a value is not required when execution begins.

You can specify optionality for an optional entity view in the same way you specify optionality conditions for attributes or relationship memberships. You can store this condition as part of the entity view description. The default is optional.
