Edit a Validation Rule
There are three steps to building a validation rule:
- Define the list of attributes the rule will apply to, for instance: Brand and Product Name. (See Validation Rule Attributes.)
- Define the rule, for instance: the attributes to which the rule applies must not be null. (See Validation Rule Details.)
- Define the list of conditions that when some or all of them are met, the rule will be applied, for instance: apply the rule if Product ID is not null. (See Validation Rule Conditions.)
Note: The order of the sub-pages on the Manage Rule page is not the same as the order of the steps listed above. Once a new rule is named, the rule’s configuration options can be edited in any order.
As an example, simple validation rules are in the form:
<assigned attribute> must <operator>(<assigned value>) (if <condition attribute> <condition operator> (<condition value>) is true)
where parenthesis indicate that portion of the rule is optional.
Examples of simple validation rules are:
Country Code must Equal EN if Product ID > 100
Product ID must be Greater Than 100 if Country Code Equals EN
Product ID must be Not Empty
