=== Blank Fields ===
In Filenet systems, metadata fields can be blank -- including date fields.  In the OnDemand world, fields are NEVER allowed to be blank -- the rationale is that you can't find a document that doesn't have all of the index values properly populated in the database.  In the cases where fields are empty, there are a few options:
* Remove the field from the Application Group definition
* 'Retrofit' the index file with the missing data from another source
* Discard the metadata from Filenet and run the reports through one of the CMOD Indexers like ACIF.
