Workflow validation error

Symptoms

When you attempt to complete a workflow action, an error message may appear.

[Error message specified by your Alloy Navigator administrator.]

For details on workflow actions, see Performing workflow actions.

Cause

This error message occurs when you attempt to submit invalid or incomplete data, e.g. when the entered price is negative. To prevent data submission, your Alloy Navigator administrator has configured a validation rule for the Action Form you are working with.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, make sure all the data is correct, and then try to complete the action again. If the error persists, contact your Alloy Navigator administrator.

More information about Form validation

A validation rule is a criterion that Alloy Navigator checks after the user fills in the Action Form. When a validation rule meets its criterion, Alloy Navigator displays a pop-up error message to the user and prevents data submission. When the Action Form is implemented as a dialog box, the validation rule applies to the entire Form. Wizard-style Forms can have individual validation rules for wizard pages.
