Define Validation Rules

The Define Validation Rules dialog box allows you to create and view single-variable and cross-variable validation rules.

To create and view validation rules

  1. From the menus choose:

    Data > Validation > Define Rules...

    The dialog box is populated with single-variable and cross-variable validation rules read from the data dictionary. When there are no rules, a new placeholder rule that you can modify to suit your purposes is created automatically.

  2. Select individual rules on the Single-Variable Rules and Cross-Variable Rules tabs to view and modify their properties.
