Custom Validation

 

Define custom validation rules to perform extra error checking on data before submission to PTAGIS. This validation does not occur during data entry, only afterwards when the user validates the session in Record Management or Session management. For example, a validation rule can look for records where the SRR Code has a rear type of Wild and the Conditional Comments field contains a flag code for adipose clip (AD). Any records that meet these criteria will be marked and displayed to the user for further review prior to submission to PTAGIS.

 

Enabled

When enabled (On), the custom validation rule will be checked whenever one or more sessions are validated in Session Management or Record Management.

Result Type

Select the type of validation result to report when the criteria in the Validation Editor are true:

 

Error: If a session has a validation error, it cannot be submitted to PTAGIS. Select this result type if records that fail this rule should not be submitted to PTAGIS.

Warning: If a session has a validation warning, the user is notified about the condition, but the session can still be submitted to PTAGIS. Select this result type if records that fail this rule can be submitted to PTAGIS.

 

 

Prompt

Enter the text to display for each record that fails this validation rule.

Field to Correct

Select the field that should be highlighted in Record Management for each record that fails this validation rule.

Validation Editor

Add the validation criteria here. Records will be identified with the selected Result Type and Prompt when these criteria evaluate to true. See the Filter Editor for more information about how to build the validation criteria.
