Title: Data Validations
Post by: shaud on 31 Jan 2008 03:34:29 PM
Anyone familiar with the limitations of using data validations in contributor. For example can you validate on text or formated dlist?

You can validate dlist format on iids of items, i guess.

i've done that in analyst, but i can't get it to work in contributor. have you successfully validated data in contributor using the Data validation in CAC opposed to analyst?

Yep, it works with IF THEN ELSE logic like IF flag=1 THEN X ELSE Y.

As with our models, formulae in cells works in CAC as it does with analyst.

But ive not used any cac specific validation, i.e. not created in analyst on a dlist first.
