US Patent 9589242 Integrating custom policy rules with policy validation process

A system is provided for integrating custom policy rules with a policy validation process for validating forms within an organization. The system may enable the organization to create new policy rules and to customize existing policy rules for forms according to various specifications. The custom policy rules may be stored in policy database and the policy validation process may be applied to validate submitted forms against the custom policy rules for identifying policy rule violations. The system may automatically apply the policy validation process upon the submission of a form to the organization for identifying violations before posting the form to the organization's system. The system may generate a policy violation results list, and may provide a display message for indicating when policy violations have been identified in the submitted form, and may also present options to the user for addressing the policy violation and approving the form.
