Implementing Validations

You can add, edit, or remove validation scripts only when using the Solution Design capability. If the Solution Design capability is disabled, the Validations tab does not appear on the Properties view of a control.

You can enable or disable a validation at the time of defining it, or after defining it. If disabled, the validation definition remains in the form model, but is not invoked at runtime. This may be useful during troubleshooting of a form.

  • When defining a validation, you can enable it or disable it by using the Enabled check box on the Define Validation dialog.
  • You can enable or disable a defined validation by using the Enabled check box in the Validations tab of the Properties view.
  • Adding a Validation
    TIBCO Forms does not validate controls and panes that are invisible, disabled, have any empty value, or that are contained within a pane that is invisible or disabled. Only collection panes are validated even if they are empty.
  • Editing a Validation
    Editing a validation involves similar steps as adding a validation.
