Validating Scripts

As you create scripts, or after you have finished creating scripts, you can validate them to ensure that the script does not contain any errors, loops, or dead ends. The system includes these predefined validation rules:

• Rule 1 — Single select questions must be followed by at least one branch node.

• Rule 2 — Multiple select questions must be followed by at least one branch node.

• Rule 3 — Value input questions must be followed by at least one branch node.

You can choose to run any or all of these three rules when you validate the script. If the system finds an invalid node in the script, it displays the node that is in error, along with the rule that the node failed to pass. The system then marks the script as inactive.

Run the validation process often during script creation to identify and fix errors early and to avoid having to delete significant portions of the script.
