What is considered a non-blocking validation?

A non-blocking validation refers to a validation that does not prevent the user from proceeding with an action even if the validation fails. This means that while the validation may indicate a potential issue or inconsistency, it allows the user to continue their workflow without interruption.

In the context of the choices provided, a warning that allows continued progress is a perfect fit for this definition. It offers the user information that they may need to address but does not critically hinder their ability to move forward within the system or process. This can be particularly useful in environments where flexibility is necessary, allowing users to correct issues at a later stage without stalling their progress entirely.

In contrast, the other options imply more restrictive measures that would block or halt an action, such as an error that prevents an action, a requirement for approval, or a mandatory input. Each of these would typically necessitate resolution before allowing the user to proceed, thereby classifying them as blocking validations rather than non-blocking. Thus, the correct identification of a non-blocking validation reinforces the understanding of how different validations can impact user interaction within systems like Guidewire PolicyCenter.
