Validation Message

The Validation Message setting in standard and custom fields is used to specify the pop-up message that is displayed to users if this field contains incorrect or missing data when the record is saved.

The Validation Message is displayed when:

• The field is set as "Mandatory," but has been left blank by the user and the record is saved.
• The field fails the validation condition that has been set on the field settings page.

If the Validation Message is left blank:

• "[Field Caption] can not be empty." will be displayed in a pop-up when mandatory fields are left blank.
• A blank pop-up message will display if a validation condition has been entered.
