This is a tool that is located on the Management section of the Validations tab.

Function

The Modify Editor Columns tool () is used to add informational or decision-making columns to the HPMS Validation rules. These columns appear in conjunction with the columns used in executing the rule when editing data in the Validation Editor.

Add Columns

To add additional columns, the user must first select a Validation Type category from the picklist at the top of the interface. Then, the "Data Item" picklist below will be populated with the HPMS Items that have rules in the selected category. After selecting a Data Item, the required columns will be displayed, and additional columns can be added. While new columns can be added, the required columns cannot be deleted.

Informational columns are associated to a rule by clicking the “Add New Row” link and selecting the column to be associated. To delete a column, the user can select the checkbox by the desired row and click the “Delete Selected Rows” link.

Once columns are associated to the validation rule, the user can click the "Save Changes" button to store the columns. These columns will be displayed in the Validation Editor once the rule is validated.
