Validating data in custom fields

For custom fields with certain data type and control type combinations [Table 78], a developer [>>] can set up PowerSchool SMS to validate the data entered into the fields. Because client validations are very technical, we recommend that a developer familiar with JavaScript create the validations. The developer must set up either a JavaScript file that contains a library of functions that can be used for validation or a JavaScript code block entered directly into the Client Validation panel. For information about creating Client Validations, see the Chancery SMS cTools Client Validation Guide, available from the support site.
