Configuring Field Validations

This screen enables you to configure field level validations for the Case Form fields. Be aware of the following:

  • These validation rules are expressed as an advanced condition, with their criteria marked as required or warning.
  • The field level validations feature helps in automatic checking of data as it is entered on the Case Form, to ensure consistency of data as per company requirements. Consider the following example:

    Suppose that the year in the patient's date of birth is entered as 1860. The patient's date of birth probably could not have been prior to 1880; hence, a warning is issued to ensure the accuracy of the entered data.

  • A field level validation message such as this one is a "warning violation" and the user can therefore enter a justification and continue working on the case.
  • An example of a mandatory violation would be a dosage regimen stop date that occurs before the dosage regimen start date. Cases cannot be saved without correcting mandatory violations.
  • For dependent fields, Oracle Argus Safety is pre-loaded with several field level validations. Some of these validations are protected and cannot be disabled. Others can be disabled, if required by company policy.
  • The system displays the Advance Condition Description for field validations on the case form after the Advanced Condition name in the following format: Field: XXXX:YYYYReason: ZZZZ
where:
  • XXXX—Is the Field Label Tree view followed by the field label as configured in the field label configuration.
  • YYYY—Is the Advance Condition name configured for the field validation.
  • ZZZZ—Is the advance conditions descriptions as configured for the Advance conditions. This text prints only if there is a description available for the Advanced Condition. Otherwise, the system disables the field label.

Select System Configuration > Field Validation to view the Case Form Field Level Validation screen.

Tip:

The Case Form tabs appear on the left panel and are categorized as folders. Each folder contains all the field labels associated with that section.

Consider the following example:

The General Tab in the Case Form contains sections such as Study, Follow-up, Case Literature, etc. To view the list of field names associated with the Study section, click Study in the left panel. The field names associated with Study appear in the right panel.
