Who put you in charge?

Yes, but this is a required field- under which number would you have me put 
complex installations that are being handled by DCS- none of the phone numbers 
is right for it.

Yes, but aren't needed and required two different things?

Great!

But I have been- and I'm only talking about the status window in the HelpNet/DCS child.
