Set up validation rule of type Mandatory or Blank

Prev Next

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 validation rules of these types:

  • Mandatory: Makes it mandatory to fill the defined field.

  • Blank: Validates if no value is entered in a field.

 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.
