Tips for Correcting Validation Errors

After you add or edit data and click the Save & Finish or Submit Changes button, a data validation process begins. Sentinel verifies that the field changes do not violate any data validation rules. When a validation error occurs, the system informs you of the error and does not allow you to proceed until you correct the error or cancel the action.

To correct the validation errors:

1. When a validation error occurs, the page reappears with an error message displayed at the top. This message directs you to the problem and explains the error.
2. For each error listed, make the necessary change.
3. Click the appropriate Save & Finish or Submit Changes button. If your corrections pass validation, the page reappears with the new information.
