Grid validation

Unica Marketing Operations exposes a validation interface you can use to write custom validation plug-ins. A sample plug-in is provided, which uses the Validator interface.

Unica the following validator out-of-box.

In most cases, you should be able to use the plug-in provided, rather than needing to write your own custom validator.

The Grid tab uses the validator to validate input data. When you add a grid tab to a project template, one of the options you can specify is a validator.

Note the following:

Rule files should be in a specific format. When importing a rules XML file, it is validated against the XML schema gridrules.xsd.

Typically, a rule is specific to a form, as the underlying table structure is tightly bound with rules. Hence, we recommend you use a rule with only one (grid) form.

Though Unica Marketing Operations ships with a few sample rules (range check, begins with, check unique), we expect the customer (or a consultant) to create and import custom rules files.
