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 [[Javascript JavaScript Validation|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 blankby the user.* A blank pop-up message will display if a [[Javascript JavaScript Validation|validation condition]] has been entered.
<!--For '''Standard Fields''' the Validation Message is displayed when the [[User|user]] has not completed a Mandatory field.
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 Fields|Custom Field]], or if a mandatory field has not been completed.
:''The Validation Message for [[Custom Fields|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 [[Browser|browsers]] may also limit the number of characters in pop-up windows.-->
