In the Web UI, an administrator can use data validation options to accomplish the following scenarios:
-
Hidden - ensure that irrelevant attributes and references are not displayed and reduce clutter for the job expected to be performed on the screen. Refer to the Hiding Data in Web UI topic here.
-
Mandatory - ensure that a required value is provided for attributes, references, and within workflows and visually identify fields that are necessary to save data. Refer to the Mandatory Data in Web UI topic here.
-
Read-only - ensure that specific attribute and reference parameters should not be changed and visually identify fields that cannot be edited. Refer to the Read-Only Data in Web UI topic here.
-
Values - ensure that attribute and reference parameters allow only defined values and restrict updates to use only expected values. Refer to the Value Validation in Web UI topic here.
Each of these validation requirements can be achieved using the methods defined in the topics linked above. Review your data model and processes to help determine which method is most appropriate for your system.
For recommended practice in using business conditions to apply data validation in the Web UI, review the Configuring Business Conditions in Web UI topic here.
