Conditional Warning
Solution No. 69
If the “Conditional Statement” is true, a warning message will be shown to the user, and all subsequent actions will not get processed. This is an excellent way to validate entries and exit processing if your requirements are not met.
 
So Where Would We Use It?
Useful when a required condition is not met, Conditional Warning will generate a custom pop-up message that provides details on how to solve the problem or meet the conditions.
