Apply workflow validation to every stage change

Apply workflow validation to every stage change

Keep every process on track with new workflow validation. Add simple rules that stop or warn users when a record doesn’t meet your own conditions – no more chasing missing data or approvals.

Workflow validation kicks in the moment someone tries to move a record between workflow stages. Mandatory validators block the workflow action; advisory ones surface a friendly warning. Either way you decide the criteria; from empty fields to complex expressions.

Why it matters:

  • Ensure completeness – prevent half-filled records from slipping into the next stage, saving follow-up time.
  • Set clear expectations – make it explicit which fields are validated at stage change.
  • Build confidence – colleagues see clear warnings or errors, so they understand what to fix straight away.

How it works:

  1. Add or Edit any workflow action and open the new Validation tab.
  2. Add one or more validators: set Severity (Warning or Requirement), pick the fields, and craft a helpful message.
  3. Save your validator, confirm changes to the workflow Action, and save the workflow stage. From now on Kinabase evaluates the rules every time a record moves.

When to use it:

  • Quality teams enforcing mandatory inspection steps before shipping.
  • HR managers ensuring required contract details are completed before onboarding continues.
  • Legal team ensuring compliance checks are completed before any work is started.
