==Benefits of this Feature==

* By default, SmartSimple validates forms one field at a time, providing alert message individually as each error is encountered. Using Server-Side Validation means that error messages are presented in a consolidated fashion, making entering values into the online forms less time-consuming for the end user.

* Different levels of validation can be implemented. One set of validation criteria can be set on each custom field, and another set can be implemented on [[Submit Buttons]].
