How form field configuration validation alerts work in the BoldSign mobile app?

Form field validation alerts in the BoldSign mobile app ensure that all fields are properly configured before sending a document for signature, helping prevent errors.

When configuring form fields, missing or incorrect settings can prevent a document from being sent. The BoldSign mobile app automatically detects such issues and notifies you with:

• Visual indicators on invalid fields.
• Inline error messages for quick correction.
• A summary validation alert before sending the document.

How form field validation works?

1. Open your document in the BoldSign mobile app.
2. Go to the Configure Fields screen.
3. Add or edit the necessary form fields.
4. Tap Send Document.

If any field is not properly configured, a validation alert will appear and prevent the document from being sent.

Common validation errors

You may encounter validation alerts in the following scenarios:

• Image field without a title.
• Attachment field without a title.
• Hyperlink field with missing or invalid values.
• Dropdown field without defined options.

What details are shown in validation alerts?

When validation errors are detected, a configuration alert is displayed, and it provides:

• The total number of errors.
• Navigation controls to move between affected fields.

How to fix validation errors?

• Use the navigation arrows in the alert panel to move between errors.

• The selected field will:

  • Be highlighted.
  • Display an inline error message in the settings panel.

• Update the field configuration as suggested (for example, add a title or required values)

After resolving all validation errors, the alerts are automatically cleared, ensuring all fields are properly configured and allowing you to send the document without errors.
