Validation - Highlights invalid or impossible values considering the equipment or environment associated with the input cell. When a form contains invalid values, the invalid values prevent:
-
The form from being saved.
-
A section from being submitted.
-
A workflow transition from being implemented.
For example, an invalid input can often be the result of a typo. The absolute capacity of a tank is 1,000 liters. Currently, the volume of water in the tank is 730 liters. The user completing the task accidentally enters 7,300 liters. If a valid limit of 1,000 liters has been configured for the task, a validation error appears, and the section cannot be submitted until the entered value is corrected.
-
-
Flag - Highlights the concerning values. Flags normally indicate that something is wrong with the equipment or environment and the issue must be addressed before the problem escalates. A section can be submitted when there are flagged values.
For example,
-
The tank level is lower than expected; there could be a leak or faulty valve.
-
The temperature is higher than expected; more grease may be required so that the equipment doesn't burnout or cause a fire.
-

multiple times or different rule types for each cell.
