Use this tab to specify the inputs that the system uses to determine which validation settings on the Validate tab to apply at run time. For example, when you specify an input property on the Input tab, you can specify different validation settings based on values of that property. At run time, the system applies the validation setting corresponding to the one specified for that property value.

For example, given an input property RiskRating that has Table Type of Local List, with values High Risk, Medium Risk, and Low Risk, you can specify one set of validation settings to apply at run time when the user selects High Risk and different settings when the user selects Medium Risk.

None

The default. Use when specifying one set of validation settings.
Input Property

Use to specify a property for the system to use to determine which validation settings to apply at run time. When selected, you can specify sets of validation settings on the Validate tab. Each set corresponds to a particular run time value of the property. At run time, the system determines which set of validation settings to apply based on the property value.

When this radio button is selected, specify one of the following:

  • a Single-Value property — for example, a top-level property (such as .pyLabel)
  • an embedded property (such as NamedPage.pyLabel, .PageList(1).pyLabel, .Page.pyLabel, etc).
  • a linked property reference.

The Label field defaults to the description from the property's rule form. The system displays this label on the Validate tab to show there is an input property for the validation settings. You can optionally update the text in the Label field to use a different label on the Validate tab (updating the label text here does not change the description on the property's rule form). If you enter text for the label and then select a different property, the Label updates to the description of the newly chosen property.
Proposed Work Status

Use to specify sets of validation settings that correspond to work status values. When selected, you can specify sets of validation settings on the Validate tab. Each set can correspond to a particular work status value (for example Pending-Investigation).
Flow Action Name

Use to specify validation settings based on the flow action that has invoked it. When selected, you can specify the validation settings on the Validate tab.
Stages Use to specify sets of validation settings that correspond to the current stage. When selected, you can specify sets of validation settings on the Validate tab. Each set can correspond to a particular stage value.
