The table below breaks down each of the six examples above into their component criteria, comparisons and the tests:
Rule | Criteria Field | Criteria Operator | Criteria Value | Test Field | Test Operator | Test Value | Comparison | Error Type |
The field 'DBH' cannot have a value greater than '40' | NA | NA | NA | DBH | > | 40 | != | Error |
The field 'Net Acres' cannot have a value greater than the field 'Gross Acres' | NA | NA | NA | Net Acres | > | Gross_Acres | != | Error |
If the field 'Tree Type' has a value equal to 'Overstory', then the field 'DBH' cannot have a value less than '5' | Tree_Type | = | Overstory | DBH | < | 5 | != | Error |
If the field 'Component' has the value 'Live', then the field 'Snag Class' cannot have a value that is not equal to Null | Component | = | Live | Snag Class | != | Null | != | Error |
If the fields 'DBH' and 'Height' both have a value not equal to 'Null', then the field 'Tally Measure' cannot have a value equal to 'T' | DBH, Height | != | Null | Tally_Measure | = | T | != | Error |
The field 'DBH' cannot have a value greater than '20'; If it does warn the user but don't prevent saving the feature | NA | NA | NA | DBH | > | 20 | != | Warning |

In order to assist with the mangement management of Related Domains,
InventoryManager provides a dedicated interface for creating and editing
validation rules. The screenshot below shows this user interface in a
typical InventoryManager implementation. Even if your organization is
not using InventoryManager to manage your MobileMap data collection, the
screenshot below is still helpful to explain the process and inputs for
