Validations on Form Submission

Introduction

Feature(s)

Validations on form submission is used to validate whether the data entered by members meet certain conditions for submitting the form.

Application Scenario(s)

It can be used in scenarios where the contents of forms need to be validated. For example, you need to validate applicants' phone numbers in activity registration forms, validate the serial number of products in product management, and to validate ID numbers in employee information.

Preview

Here is an example of validating the serial number of products. The serial number of products is set as five digits. Members cannot submit data if the entered data do not meet this condition.

Setting Procedure

Where to Set

1. Go to Design > Form Properties > Validations on form submission, and click Add Condition.

2. If there are multiple conditions in one form, you can sort them out through dragging and dropping.

Setting Prompt for Failed Check

The system will show you a prompt if the entered value does not meet certain validation conditions.

Setting Formula(s)

The formula in Validations on form submission is the validation condition. Data can only be submitted when it meets the condition. So you need to set a proper formula, otherwise, members cannot submit the form successfully.

There are two ways to add fields in the formula:

Note:

1. You can only copy formulas through Copy Formula. Manually entering field names or directly pasting from other locations does not work.

2. Right-clicking with the mouse or using keyboard shortcuts is not supported for copying or cutting formulas in Safari and UC browsers.

Operator Symbols

Common operator symbols are shown below. For details about how to use formulas, see Formula.

Note(s)

1. Regular forms can be set validations on form submission in Form Properties.

2. After a workflow is enabled, you cannot configure validations on form submission in Form Properties. Instead, you need to set validation conditions of nodes in Workflow > Node Properties > Advanced > Data to Be Submitted. For details, see Node Validation.
