Use these sections to configure a validation procedure.

- Configure Controls: Review the status of the controls that are associated with the validation procedure. If the status of a control is Draft, configure the control and update the status to Active.
- Define Business Context: Define the input parameters for the validation procedure. The input parameter is the business context required by the controls to evaluate the criteria in the rule processor. Use a record ID, context definition context ID, or string as a business context parameter.
- Map Business Context: Map the procedure parameter that you defined in the business context to the control input variable for each control related to the validation procedure. This applies only when the implementer is an expression set or prompt template.
- Summary: Review the procedure configuration before you submit the changes.
