Validation - The input cell doesn’t accept a particular value or a value that exceeds a particular range. For example, Tank A’s maximum volume is 1500 liters. A validation rule can be set up to invalidate any value greater than 1500 that might occur due to a typo. An IndustraForm section can’t be submitted with an invalid value.
Number and Integer cell types invalidate text input by default.
Flagging – The j5 software draws attention (raises a flag) to a particular value or a value that exceeds a particular range. For example, Tank B’s maximum volume is 1500 liters. A flagging rule can be set up to flag any value greater than 1400 liters so the tank’s volume can be addressed before it overflows.
