Standard validate rules

Your system includes these four standard validate rules (Rule-Obj-Validate rule type).

Name

Purpose

Work-.OnAdd Defines validation for work items (not covers) when the work item is created (entered).
Work-.Validate Defines validation for work items when the work item is updated.
Work-Cover-.OnAdd Defines validation for cover work objects when first created (entered).
Work-Cover-.Validate Defines validation for cover objects when updated.

Standard activities that apply to the Work- class call specific validation rules when a work item is created, and also each time it is updated. To provide more specific, comprehensive editing, override the standard rules in your application:

  1. Open one of the standard OnAdd or Validate rules listed below.
  2. Select a work type in your application as the Applies To class.
  3. Retain the names OnAdd and Validate for the Validate Name key part.
  4. Record your edits and messages in the new validate rule.
