Single Field Validation Rule details
These details are displayed whenever a Single Field Validation Rule is selected in the Project Tree.
The following options are available.
- General
-
This group has the following options:
- Validation rule is active
-
This option is available for inherited validation rules only.
Selecting this option makes this read-only inherited validation rule editable and independent from its parent. This means that you can make changes to this validation rule without affecting its parent. This option is usually used only if the associated locator is also overwritten.
If this option is cleared, the validation rule from the parent class is executed for this inherited class.
- Validation rule makes uncertain extraction results valid
-
Select this option if you want to force an extraction result that has a low confidence to be valid. You should use this option only if the assigned validation methods are sufficient and strong enough to eliminate incorrect values. This option is cleared by default.
