Form-level errors are reported against properties not present on the current form. By default, the messages appear in a standard form-error message section. You can display the error messages in one of three ways:

• Default — In a standard error section at both the top and bottom of the user form.
• Top of harness — In a standard error section at the top of the form.
• In configurable section — In a custom section that you create and place on the harness.

1. Press the down arrow to select a section that will display the error message.
2. Open the section. On the section's Design tab, type the message text in one or more label fields on the layout, and save the rule.
3. Include the section on the harness where you want the message tpen the section's Properties panel.
4. In the Visible When field, select hasMessages from @baseclass and click OK.
5. Save the harness.

For an example, see Pega Community article How to create a custom error section in user forms.

• As image with tooltip — The error standard Delete icon next to the field and the error message text in a Tooltip. Default. See Skin form — Components tab — Controls — Text inputs & Formatted text.
• As full error text — The error message text above the input the field. See Skin form Components tab General Errors.

Keep visible – Leave cleared in most cases. Select this check box to cause the entire run-time work item to scroll vertically as a single unit, except for the button bar and form error area which remain visible at the top.

When the Enforce CSS minimum width check box is selected, the Minimum Screen Width setting, located in the Skin form — Components tab — Layouts — Legacy layouts, applies to all harnesses, regardless of whether the harness contains a Smart layout.

Enable this feature only if such detailed auditing is needed in your application. Auditing increases the database workload of your application and can produce large volumes of log data.
