DA: Can you force a document to go into validation?

​@Uzumaki One way to do this is to temporarily modify the Process generated by your learning instance. Go to Automation > Document Workspace Processes > {your learning instance name}, then open the Process with {your learning instance name}.

Temporarily change step 3 in the Process to “Not Equal To”.

Now, the logic for validation is backwards. Documents that should pass will go to validation; documents needing validation will pass. Use this only for testing and remember to set it back to “Equal to” when you’re done.

Hi ​@Uzumaki,

The simple way is to add a field that is not present in the document and mention it as mandatory. Or you can add any optional field value or table value as mandatory on a temporary basis in order to make your extraction go into the validation stage.

​@Uzumaki did any of the approaches work? Do let us know!

Hi ​@Uzumaki 

Another way to do this is by applying a temporary document or field rule. If you know what the field should (or shouldn’t) contain and it doesn’t match the criteria, you can set an error on that field so that it forces it into the validator. Once you are happy with the results you can just delete the rule.
