+## Using the Validator Instance
+
+The Kendo Ui Form utilizes the [Kendo UI Validator component](https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/validator) internally. This behavior facilitates use cases, in which you may need to use the [Validator API](/api/javascript/ui/form)&mdash;for example, to programmatically trigger validation.
+
+```dojo
+    <form id="myForm"></form>
+
+    <script>
+        var form = $("#myForm").kendoForm({
+            formData: {
+                ID: 1,
+                Name: "",

+        }).data("kendoForm");
+
+        form.validator.validateInput("[name='Name']");
