Interaction Designer: Interaction validation
Before an interaction can be used, it must be valid.
A validation status indicator is displayed to the right of the interaction’s name. When the interaction is valid and contains no validation errors, the validation status indicator is shown as a blue checkmark.
Specific validation errors are outlined in the interaction documentation. When one or more validation errors is present, a validation error indicator is shown as a red “x” icon.
Selecting the indicator lists the validation errors in a dialog:

You can use the button at the bottom left of the dialog to copy the validation error details to the clipboard. You can close the dialog using the OK button.
If the determination of an interaction’s validation status takes longer than three seconds, dynamic validation is switched off automatically. A button is displayed, and advises of this fact. Selecting the button turns dynamic validation back on.
