Validation Rules

What are validation rules?

Validation rules are records checks that help you prevent customers and admins from creating or editing a record if a condition isn't met.

For example, you want to make sure all customers have a VAT number on record. Another example would be preventing customers from booking a resource if they didn't purchase a specific product.

You can set up validation rules for the following record types:

How validation rules work

Validation rules rely on a formula that assesses if a condition you define is met before creating or updating a record. The formula is simply what you tell Nexudus to check whenever a customer or an admin tries to edit a record.
