Fields Defined By A Calculation; Field Validation - NUANCE OMNIFORM 2 Reference

Fields Defined by a Calculation

The only time you would notice a calculation in fill view is when a field
fills in automatically.
In the example below, the TOTAL field automatically added the
amounts entered in the first and second fields. The TOTAL would
increase if the third and fourth fields were filled as well.
You define a calculation on a field in design view. See Chapter 8, Using
Calculations, for detailed information on calculations.

Field Validation

Fill text fields can be configured by the creator to:
• Require that you enter information in a field and do not leave it
blank.
• Require that you enter specific information in a field.
• Require both of the above.
This is field validation and ensures that information entered in a form is
consistent. For example, you may be required to enter a date in a
validated Date field. You would receive a reminder prompt from
OmniForm if you attempted to enter anything other than a date.
• Click No to return to the field and enter the expected information.
• Click Yes to override field validation.
See "Set Validation Options" on page 141 for detailed information on
field validation.
