Multiple Validations

When this method is selected, multiple validation rules can be applied to a single field. For example, you might set a quantity field to be Numeric to prevent people from entering ten instead of 10. And then you might add a second validation of Greater Than to ensure that the quantity ordered is greater than some mininum value.
