Non-mandatory boundaries for dynamic forms

Balance data integrity and field flexibility.  Dynamic forms typically enforce strict limits on data entry. However, with non-mandatory boundaries, you can submit values that fall outside ideal ranges, so non-critical data variances never block the workflow. 

Validation flow

Audience: Technicians

1. Tap Save. The system first checks mandatory limits. 

   • If these fail, the save is blocked.

   • If strict limits are met, the system evaluates threshold limits.

   • If a threshold is exceeded, a warning notification appears.

2. To save the form, acknowledge the warning.

Configure non-mandatory boundaries

Audience: Administrators

1. Open the dynamic form template you want to configure.

2. Select a Text, Integer, or Decimal node:

   • Text: Minimum/Maximum Length

   • Integer/Decimal: Minimum/Maximum Value

3. For each node, set:

   • Strict Minimum Value

   • Strict Maximum Value

   • Threshold Minimum Value

   • Threshold Maximum Value

4. Define the Threshold limits (the preferred range).

5. To apply changes to the mobile app, click Save.

With mandatory boundaries

As a default, the Strict Minimum Value and Strict Maximum Value fields prevent invalid entries. 

With non-mandatory boundaries

If the Threshold Minimum Value and Threshold Maximum Value fields have been configured, you can submit a dynamic form with values that exceed the limits.
