for example, the user cannot
enter text in the field;

five
is not.

to force the user to enter a
choice from the field’s drop-down list. (Use the
Filling
tab to cre-
ate a List of Choices.)
5 Select the options under

lowest and highest allowable numbers in a field.
OmniForm displays a prompt in fill view if a user enters
numbers outside the set range.
Number Checking
is enabled when

and enter a number in the text box.
Numbers entered in the selected field must be equal to or
greater than this number.
• Select
Highest Number
and enter a number in the text box.

equal to or lesser than this number.
6 Select or deselect
Allow user to override validation.
If you deselect
this option then you force the user to enter data in the selected
field. Otherwise, users can choose to override the warning that
appears if they enter either no or inappropriate information in a
field (such as
five
instead of
5
in a Number field).
