Hi! I would like to have a feature similar to the “data validation” one in Excel/Sheets, where you can choose beforehand either to reject the input completely or show a warning. 

I will explain with some use cases: 
 

  • An Id number that has to have 8 digits
  • A date field that can’t be set in the future
  • A string that follows this schema: a letter, 7 numbers, and another letter: X0000000X.

We can set controls afterwards, like rules and CTAs asking them to update it properly, but it would be much more efficient to avoid the problem altogether by avoiding human error.

Thank you,

I would need to also add:

  • “Field cannot contain” and then setting the list of strings it cannot contain, i.e. @gmail.com

Simply put, we would love to have “validation rules/logic” in place in Gainsight. This would allow admins to create a simple logic statement that either tests true or false. When applied to a field, it would enforce this logic, and require the input data to match before being allowed to save a record.

Salesforce had done a great job of creating this feature already
