Check Document Validity

On submission to the relevant Research Council, a document is automatically validated by the system and will only be accepted if valid. A document can be validated by a user at any point prior to submission.

Validation checks are performed to:

• Detect errors in data entered in form fields

• Ensure the completed document and all its sections meet all specified business rules

Conditions in the document will be identified as:

• Warnings - these are non-critical and will not prevent completion and submission of the document
  
  OR

• Errors - these must be corrected before the document can be passed onto the next stage in the process.

In the Document Actions section, click on Check Document Validity to proceed to the Validation Result screen. The Validation Result screen displays a list of errors and warnings, with the following headings:

• Section Tested - indicates the field or section name where the error or anomaly occurs and links to a scrolling text box for correcting the data.

• Message - provides a description of and help for correcting the error or anomaly

1. Click on the field or section name in the Section Tested column to navigate to the identified error or warning page
