Table errors
If the table contains errors, you will be warned by the message Data validation error, but only after you have first clicked Save at the bottom of the table on screen. Errors will be highlighted with red font below the field where they have been identified.
- The personal identity code is incomplete, it belongs to another student who is already registered on the platform, or is not valid. As such, the Personal identity code not valid message will be highlighted in red font right below the field in question.
- Phone number is not valid (without prefix, does not have the required number of digits). Phone numbers must be registered with the country prefix (+40, +49, +33 etc.), in order to avoid the error message “‘Parent‘s phone’ field must contain a valid phone number”.
- The e-mail address is incomplete or not valid (missing “@”; “.” or a valid domain). The warning message “The ‘Student e-mail’ field must contain a valid e-mail address.” will appear.
- The class is not registered on the platform, or the registration format has been modified. The error message “‘Class’ field is mandatory” will appear.
