Using the Validate, Next, and Reset Functions

When you edit a request, a set of buttons (Validate, Next, and Reset) appears at the top and bottom of the request screens.

Note: When you view a request, only the Next button appears. 

Following are the functions each button performs:

• Validate: Partially validate data entered in ALL forms for the request so far. Error information is refreshed. You remain on the same form where you clicked Validate whether or not there are errors on that form.

• Next: Navigate to the next form without performing any validation. You will be taken to the next form whether or not there are errors on the form where you clicked Next. Error information will NOT be current; it will only be as current as the last time Validate was clicked.

• Reset: Undo unsaved changes in the form or tab you're on. When prompted if you're sure you want to undo unsaved changes, click OK.
