Input field and validation

Hello!

Sometimes we noticed non-validate value with input field item.

Indeed, operators have to use "enter button" to validate their values otherwise the older values stay...

Do you have an idea to add a validation button or anything else to be sure the new entered value is validate by operators.

Hope it is clear for you.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Already option exists. Im not sure which version of 800xA you are using?

Im not sure when this feature was introduced but atleast AFAIK from 5.1 FP4,Whenever we configure Input field by choosing its Datatype Property, (Real,Time,etc.,) the input field takes only those characters. If you enter some other character, it highlights with a red box (even before Operator Clicks enter button) showing the operator that the entered characters are invalid. If the operator ignores the red box and presses enter button, old value will be retained.

Thanks

Hi SG, our version is 5.1 rev D (not FP4). This feature is available with our version. However we would like to make clearer the validation, because very often operators put new value and do not press enter button... Any idea ?

Thank you

As of now
1) Without Pressing Enter button, Value will not be entered
2) If the operator types something in the dew and does not clicks enter, the dew will remain open for sometime and gets closed automatically after some time. New Value will not come into effect.
3) If Operator enters some wrong value, it will not be taken and a red box will appear.
4) If the operator enters correct value and clicks enter then only the new value gets applied.

This is the existing procedure. Hope this will be good in all situations..

Thank you for your faster and complete answer! As for you, the only way to validate a value is the enter button.

Is there a possibility to add an item (eg. check box?) next to input fields just to be sure operators press enter button or validate their values with mouse?

Thank you

I think it is not possible and I believe it will make the process hectic...I think the existing process is already foolproof..May be you can try other possibilities..Good luck:-)
