Data Integrity with Formulas and Validations

Salesforce offers several features to ensure data integrity. Two of the most common features are formulas and validation rules. These tools help keep data trusted in two ways: formula fields eliminate the need for manual entry, and validation rules allow you to place rules around what data may be entered on a field or record.

In this chapter, we will cover the following data integrity features in detail:

  • Overview of formulas
  • Creating a formula field
  • Understanding validation rules
  • Creating a validation rule

With the help of these topics, you will be able to understand and create formulas and validation rules.
