Cell Validation

Input validation can be used on numeric and alphanumeric cells and an action can be set that is triggered when this validation fails. Input mode and validation can be used for date cells because date cells have an option to use Calender Control to capture the date input or allow the user to type in the specified date into the cell. There are three sections that need to be completed to set up input validation for a cell: Validation, Response and Action.

Validation

The rules that will be used to test the validity of input to a cell are set up in the Validation section.

Response

The Response section is used to construct the message that will be displayed to users when invalid input is entered into a cell.

Action

The Action section defines what will occur when invalid input is entered into a cell.
