M206: Mandatory Check and Input Format Check on Each Data Item

 

It is possible to set input rules such as "Required Data" and "Restriction of input range" for each Data Item so that input omissions and input errors do not occur during [My Task] operation. If the [My Task] operating completion button is clicked when the input rule is not met, a message asking the Operator to re-enter is displayed (The Task is not complete).

1. Configure Input Rule

a. Mandatory Input

Activate [Required] when you do not allow the operation completion of My Task in a blank state

b. Range of Numbers

Specify the maximum value, the minimum value, or both

c. Number of Decimal Places of Numeric

Specify significant digits below the decimal point (e.g. "3.141" will not be allowed if limited to 2 digits)

d. Number of Characters in a String

Specify the maximum number of characters, the minimum number of characters, or both

e. Format of Strings

In cases of zip codes or email address, etc., restrict the format by using a "regular expression"

f. Number of Attachments

Specify the maximum number of attachments, the minimum number of attachments, or both

• The input rule will be validated for each Data Item upon the completion of each Step
• The input rule will not be validated for Data Items that cannot be edited in that Step
• [Required] items will not be validated if you save halfway through data input
• Specify common rules for all processes (complex input control by JavaScript is in M213)
• Non-input will be validated only for [Required] items at concluding the operation (Non-input will not become an error for data items with a 100-character limitation set, for example)
