📚 Pre-Class Study Fo Tonight: Validation Rules

Hey team 👋 we’re having our live class tonight, but for those who want to get a head start, here’s something powerful to study before the session.

Tonight’s topic is Validation Rules — one of the most important tools every Salesforce Admin should know.

✨ What is a Validation Rule?

A validation rule is a formula that checks the data entered in a record. If the data doesn’t meet certain conditions, Salesforce stops the record from being saved and shows an error message. It’s basically your system’s way of saying, “Hold on, this doesn’t look right!”

💡 Why Use Them?

To keep your data clean and accurate
To enforce company policies automatically
To prevent users from entering incomplete or incorrect information

🧭 Basic How-To at a Glance

Go to Setup → Object Manager → Select your Object
Click on Validation Rules and then New
Define your logic, write an error message, and save
Test it to make sure it works as expected
