Flowchart validation
You can use the Validate Flowchart feature to check the validity of a flowchart at any time except when the flowchart is running.
Validation performs the following checks for a flowchart:
*
Processes in the flowchart are configured.
*
Cell codes are unique in the flowchart, if the AllowDuplicateCellCodes configuration parameter is set to No. If this parameter is set to Yes, duplicate cell codes in flowcharts are allowed.
*
Cell names are unique in the flowchart.
*
Offers and offer lists that are referenced by contact processes are valid (have not been retired or deleted). Offer lists that are referenced but are empty generate warnings, not errors.
*
Cells that were linked to a top-down entry from the target cell spreadsheet are still connected.
The validation tool reports the first error found in the flowchart. You might need to run the validation tool several times in succession (after correcting each displayed error) to ensure that you have fixed all errors.
*
A best practice is to run validation on flowcharts before doing a production run. This is especially important if you are running scheduled flowcharts; using batch mode; or you are not planning to actively monitor the run.
