Add a Validate Text/Number rule

This rule enables you to validate a field against a range of text or a number in another field of same table. You can define fixed values or select a field from the current table to validate against a field. For example, the field to validate is Demo Number, field to validate against is Demo String 1, and the comparison operator is Is greater than or equal to.

To add a Validate Text/Number rule, follow these steps:

1. In the System Navigator, click Tailoring > Process Designer > Rule Sets.

2. Click Search to open the Rule Set form, and then select the rule set to which you want to add the rule.

   Note You can edit user-defined rule sets only. Out-of-box rule sets are labeled as HPE Proprietary and cannot be modified.

3. Click Add Rule to open the Select Rule Type page, and then click Validate Text/Number.
4. In the Rule Description field, type a description of your new rule.

5. Click Edit to add conditions to the rule.

   Note If you do not specify a condition, the value defaults to Always.

6. Select Pop-up or Screen to set the type of error message that is displayed during validation.

7. Select the field to validate from the drop-down list.
8. Select the comparison operator from the drop-down list.
9. Select the Not check box if you want to negate the comparison.

10. To validate against a field or manually defined value, follow the appropriate steps:

    • To validate against a field, select Field under Values, and then select the field you want to validate against from the drop-down list.
    • To validate against a manually defined value, select Custom under Values, and then type the value to validate against the selected field. For example, to validate whether the “Risk Assessment” value is between 1 and 5, select the Is between comparison operator, and then type 1 and 5 in the Custom text box.
11. Click OK to add the new rule to the rule set.
