Validation rule example

This section describes how to create a rule, import it into Operações de Marketing, add it to a template, and test it on a grid.

1.	Create an XML file to contain one or more rules.

2.	Upload the rules file into Operações de Marketing:

a.	Click Administration \| Template Configuration \| Rules.

b.	Click Add Rules Definition.

c.	In the Update Rule dialog box, type in a name and specify a file.

d.	Click Continue to add the rules file to Operações de Marketing.

3.	Assign the rules file to a tab on a template.

a.	Click Administration \| Template Configuration \| Templates.

b.	Choose a template, and navigate to the Tabs tab.

c.	Add a tab that contains the Vendors grid, and add the rules file to this tab.

(The Data Validation Class field gets populated by the system when you select a rules file.)

4.	Create an object from the template, and test the rule by attempting to enter invalid data into the empNum field:

We attempted to enter an invalid value (5000) in the # of Employees field, and received an error message, and were prevented from saving this grid row. This indicates the rule is working as designed.
