The Set Validations step is a component of the workflow that applies validations to specific Form controls. By incorporating this step, error messages can be implemented based on user inputs, ensuring data integrity and enhancing user experience. Pair this step with a Rule step to create a level of flexibility that allows the Form to adapt seamlessly to various scenarios, such as enforcing age restrictions by disabling interaction with certain controls, validating the format of email addresses to ensure accuracy, and implementing custom business rules for data validation.
