Setting up a validation value or string

You can specify a value or string to validate against whilst setting up a validation rule for a numeric, text or combo box control on a form.

To set up a validation value / string:

  1. Open the Numeric/Text Validation Editor by clicking the ellipsis button on the Validation Rules Editor.
  2. Type in a value in the Value / String to validate against text box if using static information only.
  3. If using dynamic data only, use the Available Controls dropdown list only.
  4. If using both static and dynamic information, type in some value(s) for the formula in the Value / String to validate against text box and then place the cursor at the exact point where the dynamic data should be appended.
  5. Select the desired control(s) in the Available Controls dropdown list and then press the Insert button.
  6. To commit your changes, click OK. The dialog closes.
