Validate Controls on Screen Action

How to validate controls on screen in Method.

Updated over a week ago

An input field can have one or more validation rules applied to it. Below is an example of the rules that can be added to a text input object:

The action Validate Controls on Screen is used to check if a control obeys these rules. 

If the input for the control breaks a rule, this action will highlight the control in red, display what needs to be fixed, and all other actions below this action will be ignored. 

Example: Below, the Name field is required and the action was called to validate this field. Since the field was empty, it was outlined in red and text is displayed to show what the validation error was. Any other action after Validate Controls on Screen is ignored.
