Validation Message

The Validation Message field is used to specify the pop-up message that is displayed to users if they input invalid information into a field.

For Standard Fields the Validation Message is displayed when the user has not completed a Mandatory field.

The Validation Message on Standard Fields can be up to 255 characters in length.

For Custom Fields the Validation Message is displayed when the entry in the field does not comply with the statements entered in the JavaScript Validation section for the Custom Field, or if a mandatory field has not been completed.

The Validation Message for Custom Fields can be any length. It is restricted by the size of the screen however, since pop-up windows do not allow scrolling. Some browsers may also limit the number of characters in pop-up windows.
