Post-Select Validation
A second category of UI Validation is Post-Select Validation. Post-Select Validation is the process of determining whether or not an action should be allowed to proceed once it is selected in the UI. An example of post-select validation would be displaying an error message and not allowing the checkout to proceed if a user tries to perform a checkout on an object that is already checked out. Post-Select Validation applies only to actions.
