A table column must reference a validation object in order for it to perform data-entry validation. Select one or more columns from the data dictionary's table that will use this validation object.

You can add new references to the object, or remove references from Data Dictionary Modeler's Columns Tab by activating the Validation Objects dialog.
Click OK to create the new validation object and any column references you selected. The dialog is closed and the new object is added to the Validation Objects list.
