Indicating the Validation Type

2.6.1.1 Indicating the Validation Type

You can specify the validation type for a date field. The validation types applicable to a date field include:

LOV
None

If you indicate LOV then an entry to the field can be made only from the predefined list that you maintain for the field. Choose None to indicate that no validation should be made for the field.

Back/Future Date Allowed

For a date field you can indicate whether back or future dates can be entered. Check against the relevant options to indicate your preference.

If you choose the back or future date options, you should also indicate a future or back period permissible for the field. The back or future period should be represented as a number.

For example, if you indicate '3' as the back date period, the field will accept dates upto three days before the current system date as a valid entry.

Note:

If you do not choose any of these options, the field will only accept the current system date as a valid entry.
