➢Open External Validations
Introduction
Extra validations can be carried out on IMS entities before they are added, updated, or deleted. This is particularly useful when the existing standard IMS validations are not enough to meet individual use cases.
We refer to these extra validations as External Validations.

▪Click on the System option, this opens a dropdown list of further options
▪Click on the External validations option
This opens up a blank External Validations form.
