Planning edit checks
By defining rules, you can validate the data entered for specific items on a form. As new data is entered in the item, or when existing data is changed, the rule attached to the item is run against the data. Depending on the outcome, different events can occur:
- The event can generate a new query.
- The event can close an answered query.
- The event can run one or more execution plans that:
- Send e-mail.
- Send an entry to a log file.
When you plan the edit checks for your trial, consider how you might use the following InForm application rule capabilities. For information on how to implement edit checks, see Defining rules.
