Share Your Validation Logic Recipe and be Featured in the Next Cookbook! 

One of the most common requests we've heard from customers over the past few months is simple: I want a list of real-world Validation Logic examples. While we did share a few in the event, Mastering Business Rules & Validation Logic in Workfront, we recognize that you want even more - more examples from your peers. So, we're excited to bring that idea to life with an upcoming Customer Validation Logic Cookbook, but…

Whether you've built a simple rule that prevents bad data entry or a sophisticated workflow safeguard, your example could help inspire other Workfront customers and spark new ideas across the community.

 

Not sure what Validation Logic is? Validation Logic is basically a smart rule on a custom field that checks the value entered to ensure it matches the defined criteria OR displays a custom error message. Learn more in this Experience League article.

Examples include:

  • Allowing only the Project Owner to select a "Rush" SLA
  • Requiring a minimum character count with an override option
  • Restricting field edits to designated users
  • Preventing dates that are less than 10 days from the entry date

👉 TO SHARE A RECIPE, FILL OUT THIS FORM

It’s a very simple form and only requires a few pieces of information. Shouldn’t take you more than 5 minutes to put together! And if you don’t have access to the form for whatever reason, please add a comment below to let me know you’re interested in submitting an idea and I can reach out directly. 

 

I need at least 10 recipes for the cookbook to go-live, so don’t wait! 

 

Thanks for reading and excited to see how you’re using Validation Logic in Workfront to improve governance, data quality, and the overall user experience!

I LOVE this and love a Workfront cook book.

I am working on a new custom form and if there are any ‘n/a’or ‘TBC’ in mandatory text fields, we want to disable the option to submit the request. Is this possible with validation?

Yes, absolutely! You can use something like this as your framework for the validation logic expression: 

IF(UPPER(TRIM({DE:Your Field Name}))=="N/A"||UPPER(TRIM({DE:Your Field Name}))=="TBD","Please enter a specific value. 'N/A' and 'TBD' are not valid entries for this field.")
