Set up validation rule of type Configurable lookup

Use validation rules to check if the data is in line with the defined standards.

To validate data, you can use several validation types. This topic explains how to set up the Configurable lookup validation type.

Use a configurable lookup validation to add a custom lookup to a field and to validate if the field value matches a value as defined by the configurable lookup.

Note

If the field, to which the configurable lookup is applied, already has a lookup, the configurable lookup overwrites the existing lookup.

Before you can set up a configurable lookup validation rule, set up the configurable lookup to be used.

For each validation rule, you can set up:

• A validation message that is shown if the validation rule is not met.

• Conditions to define the data to which the rule applies. For example, you can apply a configurable lookup based on the value of another field. So, depending on the value entered for the other field, a different configurable lookup is shown. To do so, set up a separate validation rule for each condition.
