Workflow Validation

B2C Service provides features to help you validate and preview workflows as you create them.

Because even basic workflows can contain many components that must be configured correctly in order to function properly, it is important to test your workflows thoroughly before you take them to production. As you create a flow diagram for your workflow, B2C Service validates all flow elements to ensure all required attributes have been specified. Although validation occurs in real time as you add and update elements, you can review validation errors manually at any time by clicking the Validate button on the Home tab.

You can also choose to display validation flags to help quickly identify invalid elements. When you select the Validation Results check box on the View tab, valid elements are flagged with a green check mark, while those found to be invalid are flagged with a red exclamation point and a small button you can click to view the validation error.

If you attempt to save a workflow without first addressing its validation errors, you will receive a message summarizing the errors.

Note: You can save a workflow without first correcting validation errors by clicking Continue on the Validation Results window. However, the workflow will not function properly until all validation errors have been corrected.
