Error style

Description

Specify how field validation errors should be displayed.

Discussion

Validation errors can be displayed next to the field where the error occurs, as a popup when mousing over a field or error icon, or grouped together in a single location. Some styles are not recommended depending on the type of layout used for the controls in the Detail View. Alpha Anywhere will display a warning message when the error style chosen is not recommended. Error messages can be shown using one of the following options:
