Form validation provides the ability for form designers to validate and ensure that the form template contains all necessary details.

For a parent type form template, it needs to contain the following:

• Form custom roles: Custom roles specific to the form template
• Form roles mapping: Mapping of DotNetNuke roles to form custom roles
• Form State: State participate in a form workflow
• Form Workflow: The actual workflow for the form

For a child type form template, it is not necessary to have form custom roles, form state and workflow associated to it because it can only be used as a supplement form to the parent type form templates.

How to validate a form template

1. In the Form Template details screen, click on the Validate link button to validate the form template.
2. The system will inform inform you if the form is a valid form template.
3. If the form template is not valid, correct the issues as indicated in the error message(s).
