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)

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 true, set the value of the statement to “false” and print the custom message below.

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