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. The selections on this interface determine the columns displayed in the table on the Validation Edit Menu.

Add Columns

To add columns, the user must first select a Validation Type category (Import, Coverage, Cross, or Edit) from the picklist at the top of the interface. Then, the Data Item picklist 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 using the "Add New Row" link. While new columns can be added, the required columns cannot be deleted. Columns that are not required can be deleted by selecting the checkbox in the desired row and clicking 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 Edit Menu once the rule is validated.
