Step 3: Add Validations

This page is to add input validations- checks to ensure that the data input is valid. In the 'Add Input Validations' page, the left side tree displays all the input elements. Select an element  from the left; the validations for the selected element appears to the right.

Add validations to the 'Name' field

• Select the 'Name' field from the left side box.
• We will make the 'Name' field mandatory. Select the 'Required Field' check box
• Now select the 'size' tab. Select the 'Max Length' check box and provide a maximum value( 40 or 50 ?)

Notice the validation nodes appearing on the left-side tree.

• Select the 'required field' node from the left-side tree.
• On the right side you will see the error message for this validation (the error displayed if this validation fails). You can customize the error message

Validations for the 'Email' field

• Select the 'Email' node from the left side box.
• On the right side, select the 'Required Field' check box, making it a mandatory field
• From the 'Input type' drop down, select 'Email' type

Validations for the 'Feedback' field

We will set a maximum length limit for the feed back field.

• Select the 'Feedback' field from the left side
• Select the 'Maximum Length' check box and enter the Max. limit ( say 10240, ie 10 KB?)

Now, we are ready with the input validations.
