Validate External Collections

You can specify validation rules to ensure that you have defined the collection correctly, and that the content acquisition process is collecting the desired content from the configured web sites. You can specify validation rules for a new collection, and add or update rules for an existing collection.

Select one or more of the available rules and supply a value that the content processor uses to validate the corresponding aspect of the collection. You can specify validation rules for:

• The minimum and maximum number of documents in the collection

• Key documents that must be present in the collection

Note: Specifying validation rules is optional; you can specify any, all, or none of the available validation rules.
