Validation of EmployeeID field does not work

Question

Hi

I had followed the steps listed under the url: http://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_Simplif ... Script.htm to validate EmployeeID field, to check for "-". How come during the testing stage, the system still let me create the new user account even though I purposely entered "-" ?

Hello,

If you used the script exactly as it is in the tutorial, then it works as designed and it should allow an Employee ID with an "-" character. On the contrary, it should not allow creating a user if the Employee ID does not contain the "-" character. Take a closer look at the following lines in the code:

if (**-not**($value.Contains("-")))  
{  
$Context.Cancel("employeeID is invalid.")  
 return;  
}

Hello,

Can we take a look at your Business Rules that validate the Employee ID and send the operation for approval?
