WHAT IT'S USED FOR:
Advanced XML
Some incoming data may require extra validation or processing before it can be successfully imported to a Vernon CMS field. For instance full name data might appear in one element of the xml eg 'Smith, Mary Elizabeth', rather than being divided into family name and given name(s). As Vernon CMS divides names into several fields (including LASTNAME and FIRSTNAMES) further validation or processing is required for the incoming data.
When further processing like this is required a preprogrammed validation routine should be entered in the validation column. Validation routines can be added by Vernon Systems on a case by case basis.
WHERE TO FIND IT:
The Field Mapping page of the XML Import Configuration Window.
HOW TO USE IT:
Validation is a text field. Just key in data, or copy it into the field from another source.
