# On-Screen Validation Message

**COBBLESTONE SOFTWARE**

Contract Insight — User Guide

**On-Screen Validation Message**

*03. Admin User Manual › Workflow Management › On-Screen Validation Message*

**Note:** Each procedure in this guide begins at the Contract Insight homepage, so any section can be followed on its own. Custom fields are configurable, so the exact field list on a contract category record may vary between environments.

# 1. Overview

A single workflow's **Alerts** tab is where a plain on-screen notice is defined: "Notices shown on any record this workflow currently matches — a heads-up on the record itself, rather than a task somebody has to action." With none configured, the tab states "**No alerts**. This workflow shows nothing on the records it matches," and **Add alert** is what creates one.

# 2. Key Elements

- Workflow → **Alerts** tab defines notices shown directly on a matching record, with no task or action attached
- "**No alerts**" is the tab's own wording when a workflow has none configured
- **Add alert** creates a new on-screen notice tied to that workflow's conditions
- Unlike a task, an alert doesn't need to be answered — it simply appears while the record matches
