Built In Validation Rules (Distribution)

InfoAsset Manager provides a number of default validation rules.

The table below lists the default validation rules for a Distribution Network, the error message that is displayed on validation, additional information (such as the name of the network object where the anomaly occurred) and the reason that the message has been displayed.
