SmartCheck Validation

Overview

SmartCheck Validation enables your SmartSimple system to perform server-side field validations ensuring that applications and form inputs meets your requirements.
These validations are performed on “submit” actions and returns failed field entries with your specified error messages. These messages are displayed at the top of the form and on-click will take the user to referenced field.

SmartCheck Validation Structure

Each SmartCheck Validation statement shares the following structure:

• If Statement (thing to be compared)
  
• Result (true or false result)
  
• Message (to be displayed on failed result)
  

In the example below:

if(ssParseNum(form.getStr("cf_Store Value")) > 5)
    {result.isPassed=false;
    result.addMsg('Some message here');
   }

Recognize the If, Result, Message structure:

if(ssParseNum(form.getStr("cf_Store Value")) > 5)

Check If the contents the of the form value (stored in the custom field named cf_Store_Value) is greater than 5,

{result.isPassed=false;

If the statement is false, set the value of the Result to "false" and print the custom message below.

result.addMsg('Some message here');
}

    result.addMsg('cf_@Requested Amount.id@','Field test message');
    }

    {result.isPassed=false;
    result.addMsg('Some message here');
    }

Single field upload field has no file

if("@Single File Field.filename@" == "")
    {result.isPassed=false;
    result.addMsg('Please upload a file here');

Comparing two custom date fields with separate custom time fields storing 24 hour time

if(form.getStr("cf_Event Start Date")+' '+form.getStr("cf_Event Start Time") >= form.getStr("cf_Event End Date")+' '+form.getStr("cf_Event End Time"))
  {result.isPassed=false;
  result.addMsg('cf_@Event End Time.id@','End Time must take place after the Start Time');  }
