The Validation tab in the Workflow Transition Summary lists all of the validation checks that are made before a workflow transition can be Enacted. Depending on the severity chosen for the validation, users may be presented with a warning and allowed to continue or presented with an error and prevented from changing the status.

For each validation, the following details are shown:

• Title

• Validation Code – This indicates what value will be checked and what, if any, value it will be compared against. The different codes and how they work are explained in Workflow Validation Codes.

• Validation Type – This indicates whether the user will be shown a Warning or Error message if the validation fails. If it is an Error message, the user will not be able to Enact the Status Transition.

• Status – This indicates whether the validation is Active or Dormant. Only Active validations will run.
