This is the documentation for ConfiForms Server/Data Center app

However, this might also work for ConfiForms cloud and in most cases it does. But please see this page to understand the differences between server and cloud versions of the ConfiForms app.


In this tutorial you will learn how to set up validation rules to validate against the data stored

Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include'

No link could be created for 'Creating a simple form'.

Often there is a need to setup some checks to ensure the limits on some values. 

In the example below we have a requirement to deny registrations if the dataset has already 3 records of the choice B

This validation is possible to automate in ConfiForms by using the "ConfiForms Field Definition Rules" macro and using it's "Action" selected to "Validation Rule (dataset)"

 

We start with the form, which has only one field of type Dropdown, a registration Control macro to enable new registrations and  "ConfiForms Field Definition Rules" macro with rules to check the dataset

The dropdown field looks like this:

has 3 values: A, B and C

And the rules for validation is as follows:

we check for values "B" and count them using built-in variable [count]


Condition will match when a dataset has 3 records (where field value for field "myddfield" is "B") in it already

When it does the message to use will be shown
