Data Validation using Smart Tips

Overview

You can use Validation Smart Tips to verify end user's inputs on your application. Whatfix enables you to set a valid input and evaluate your end user's response in a particular field of your application. If your end user input does not match the set data, then Whatfix displays an error message. Validation Smart Tips ensure that the end user input on forms can be validated, thus avoiding errors before form submission.

• Evaluate whether the end user has filled mandatory fields in a form correctly or not.
• Check if dates are put in a set valid date format, for example, dd/mm/yyyy.
• Check if valid entries are made in a numeric field.
