Setting up validation rules

Salesforce validation rules play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and accuracy of data within the Salesforce environment. These rules are set up to enforce specific criteria and conditions that must be met before a record can be saved. By defining expressions and formulas that evaluate the data being entered or modified, validation rules ensure that they adhere to the established business requirements and logic. For example, a validation rule might require that a discount percentage field on an opportunity record must fall within a specific range, or that a mandatory phone number field must follow a specific format. If the conditions are not met, a user-friendly error message can be displayed, guiding the user to correct the input. Through this mechanism, validation rules act as gatekeepers, promoting data quality, consistency, and compliance with organizational standards and processes.
