Validation rules let you set up business-specific criteria to prevent users from saving invalid data in one or more fields. A validation rule evaluates a formula when a record is saved. If a rule’s criteria aren’t met, users see a custom error message and the record doesn’t save. If a rule’s criteria are met, the record saves. Use validation rules to improve data quality by applying conditions, ensuring proper formatting, and enforcing consistency.
