Add a Validate against List rule

Applies to User Roles:

System Administrator

Implementer

This rule enables you to select a field to validate against a list of values. This list may be global or manually defined.

To add a Validate against List 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 against List.
  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. In the Field to Validate drop-down list, select the field to validate.
    • If you select Global List, select the global list from the drop-down list.
    • If you select Manual List, type the manual list names in the Value table.
  8. Click OK to add the new rule to the rule set.

Note If the field value does not match a value in the specified list, the system displays a message and sets the cursor to that field when the rule is not followed.
