Validation Forms
Validation forms are used to define the values that can be entered in specific fields
on application forms. These values make up a field’s List of Values (LOV).
Banner uses LOVs to validate many fields. When the cursor is in a field that must be
validated, List of Values appears in the status line, indicating that the entry must
come from the LOV. If you try to enter a value that isn’t in the LOV, an auto hint
message appears. See "Entering Information Into Validated Fields" in chapter 3 for
more information.
Most validation forms are completed when Banner is implemented. If your security
level permits, you can use a validation form to enter new values or update existing
ones. Remember, you can only change values with a validation form, not through an
LOV window.
The ZIP/Postal Code Validation Form (GTVZIPC) is an example of a validation
form.
