Disabling attribute validation (Production Mapping)

If you do not want to validate the attributes every time you change the attributes on the Create Attributes or Update Attributes window, you can disable validation. This means that when you update the attribute values, the combination of values is not checked to ensure it is valid.

When validation is disabled on the Create Attributes or Update Attributes window, you can run a batch job on the data in a Reviewer session at a later time.
