Enable DVFs for relationship types

Learn how to enable data validation functions for relationship types

Before you create Data Validation Functions, you must enable validation functions for the relationship type you want to validate.

When you run validation logic for relationship data, warning messages are added to relationship objects as analytical attributes. For these warning messages to appear on the Relationships view, you must set the validateRelations parameter to true in one of your tenant UI configuration JSON files.

To enable DVFs for relationship types in a UI configuration file:
  1. From the Reltio App Selector, select Console > UI Modeler.
  2. In the UI Modeler navigation panel, select Import/ export UI config files.
  3. If the com.reltio.plugins.entity.Validation file is on this list, edit it (if not, skip to step 4):
    1. Hover your mouse pointer over the com.reltio.plugins.entity.Validation and then in the displayed action bar select Export.
    2. In a JSON editor, open the exported com.reltio.plugins.entity.Validation file and add the following code:
      "validateRelations": true
    3. Save and close the file.
  4. If the com.reltio.plugins.entity.Validation file isn't on this list, edit another UI configuration file:
    1. Hover your mouse pointer over any file from the list, for example com.reltio.plugins.entity.json, then in the displayed action bar select Export.
    2. In a JSON editor, open the exported file and add the following code:
      {
               "point": "com.reltio.plugins.ui.configuration",
               "id": "com.reltio.plugins.entity.Validation",
               "validateRelations": true
            }
    3. Save and close the file.
  5. In the Import/ export UI config files page, hover your mouse pointer over the file you edited and then in the displayed action bar select Import & replace.
  6. In the Import & replace page, browse to the file you want to import and replace, and then select Continue.
  7. Select Replace.
  8. In the displayed confirmation message, select OK.
