Configurable Severity for Application Specific Validations

Application specific validations now provide severity options to control whether an application rule is enforced as a warning or error in each request workflow stage, when validating a viewpoint, or when exporting a dimension. Warning validations identify data issues to users but allow requests to proceed to the next stage. Error validations identify data issues and prevent the request from proceeding until resolved. An application specific validation can also be ignored for a particular workflow stage, during a viewpoint validate operation, or when exporting a dimension.

Business Benefit: The configurable severity of a validation allows application rules to be deferred to a later workflow stage or to provide a warning but not restrict submission or approval of a request.
