There are several differences between Validation and Thin Client Validation. The biggest difference is that Thin Client Validation runs in a Web browser while Validation requires software to be installed on a computer. Other differences include:

• This is a Web-based application so you may need to log on.

• There is no status bar at the bottom of the window. Instead, there is a status footer inside the Web browser window.

• Panes cannot be floated. Instead, unnecessary frames can be collapsed to maximize the space available to other frames.

• Pressing F1 launches the Web browser Help and not the Thin Client Validation Help. Instead, you need to click the Help option  inside the application or use the Ctrl, H keyboard shortcut.

• It is not possible to customize the toolbar, or rearrange the order of the toolbar.

• It is possible to use the keyboard to process batches, but the keyboard shortcuts in Thin Client Validation are different because they use a modal system where Ctrl activates the keyboard shortcut mode. Once in the keyboard shortcut mode, press any of the relevant keyboard shortcut combinations to perform the needed action.

• Keyboard shortcuts for custom buttons are not supported.

• Thin Client Validation does not have a separate batch editing mode. Instead, all supported batch editing operations are available at all times.

• Page rejection is not supported. Instead, reject an entire document.

• Thin Client Validation does not have the Confirm Document toolbar option. All documents are automatically confirmed when modified during Batch Editing.

• It is not possible to create a folder by right-clicking on a document. Instead, you must right-click a folder or the root node of the batch.

• The Create Document from a page option is not supported.

• Copying or adding documents or pages is not supported.

• It is not possible to select more than one document or folder in the Batch Content pane.

• Cut and Paste using the clipboard are not supported when editing a batch.

• Layout scripting is not supported. This means that it is not possible to set the background color of a table cell.

• It is not possible to double-click a word in the image to validate a field. However, clicking on the image still adds the text to the validation form field.
