Validation rules help you to check if assets meet specific criteria.
- A validation rule is a special asset of type Validation Rule.
- Each validation rule has a special attribute, Validation Script, which contains a script for evaluating assets.
- You can assign a validation rule to any asset type.
If you assign a validation rule to an asset type, the validation script in the rule is used to validate assets of that type.
For example, if you assign a validation rule named Global Validation to the Column asset type, the validation script in Global Validation checks individual Column assets to ensure that they meet the criteria defined in the script. This check happens for an asset when a user clicks the Validate or Revalidate button in the asset.
