There are two ways to validate the workflow process. Validation is required to ensure that the steps, unique variables and globals, logic, and outcomes of a process effectively and accurately achieve the intended goal.

Validate a selected or all definitions. 

Navigate to the Create > Process Definition page. Select a process definition from the table, then click the Actions > Validate menu option. 

The application validates the workflow, and an alert notification appears in the top-right corner, as shown below. 

Use the search text bar to filter the Process Definition list. Click Actions > Validate > All. 

The process definitions are validated in the background, and a confirmation message appears in the top-right corner. 

Validate while designing. 

Navigate to the Create Process Definition page. Select a process definition from the table, then double-click it to open it in the Designer Canvas. Then, click Actions > Validate. 

The application validates the process workflow, and an alert notification is displayed in the right pane, as shown below. Validating a process workflow involves ensuring that the steps, unique variables and globals, logic, and outcomes of a process effectively and accurately achieve the intended goal.

Here, the validation function flags steps with duplicate names. Before generating and executing a new process instance, the design must be corrected to ensure unique step names. Click the “Fix Duplicates” button. 

The application will generate unique step names and reconfigure duplicate steps. Save the process definition.
