Error Checking on Page Forms
BlueSecure™ Controller Setup and Administration Guide 3-11
Error Checking on Page Forms
Required form elements are marked with a blue bounding box. Once a user enters a
value and moves to the next form element on the page, the system validates the previous
form element. If the element does not meet predefined validation criteria, the validation
fails and the input field is demarcated by a red bounding box. Fields that have passed
validation are demarcated by a green bounding box. After the user submits the form, for
example by clicking the Save button, the system performs the same validation on each
form element and reports any errors.
In many of the BSC administrator console pages, you are prompted to enter individual IP
addresses, address ranges, address/netmask pairs, or fully qualified domain names in
various fields. When the address is for an external machine, the system will attempt to
verify the address by pinging the machine. If the ping is unsuccessful, the system displays
the message “The address could not be reached”.
Using Command Buttons and Icons
Command buttons are located along the top and bottom of BSC administrator console
pages that have data entry fields. The command icons are located in the Action column of
each table row on a page. Each table row represents a single database record. Mark the
corresponding checkbox to select a table row for use with a command button. The
following table describes the most commonly used BSC administrator console command
buttons and icons.
