Attribute validation

Marketing Operations has two types of validation to check for inconsistencies in forms.

When you save templates, the system validates the attributes. Marketing Operations has two types of attribute validation: template attributes validation and template attribute type validation.

• Template attributes validation: Checks whether two or more form attributes point to the same table column in both Summary tab and other, non-Summary tabs. If two or more form attributes on different tabs point to the same table column, the system generates an error message that describes the duplicated references.

• Templates attributes type validation: Checks whether two form columns, of different types, from two templates point to same table column but with different type. If two or more form attributes with different types point to the same table column, the system generates an error that describes the inconsistency.

Templates attributes type validation checks whether two form columns from two templates point to same table column but with different type (for example, one has a type of select and the other is multi-select).

If two or more form attributes with different types point to the same table column, the system generates an error that describes the inconsistency.
