Working with Configurable Validations

Validations are used throughout the application to maintain control over data that is entered by users, for example, to enforce data integrity or to prevent the entry of inconsistent data. An example of a validation is “The Case Participant Role start date must not be later than the Case end date - "%1d".”. This is displayed when a user attempts to add a case member to a case with a start date later than the end date of the case.

Although all validations included in the application are run during processing by default, some validations are verified to not be required as they have no impact on system processing if they are not run. These validations are pre-defined as configurable validations and can be disabled by an agency.

The system administration application provides an agency with the ability to search for and disable validations that are identified as configurable validations. All other validations cannot be maintained within the application and are run during processing.

An organization might have a requirement to disable a validation that is not identified as a configurable validation. The organization can create a Product Enhancement Request (RFE) for the validation to be made configurable. The validation is then analyzed and it is determined whether it can be reclassified as a configurable validation.
