You may enhance the quality of your data, which will result in improved insights and better decision-making, by applying these validation rules.

6 Dimensions of Data Quality
You consider the attributes of the data when evaluating its quality. Although they may differ from project to project, there are six universal aspects of data quality standards:
- Accuracy: To which degree the information accurately reflects reality.
- Completeness: Does it meet your standards for what constitutes a thorough statement?
- Consistency: Does information recorded in one location match pertinent information stored in another location?
- Timeliness: Are you able to access your information when you need it?
- Validity: Does the information adhere to business norms, follow a predetermined format, or is it in an useless format?
- Uniqueness: Is this the only time this information has ever been in the database?
What’s New and How to Use HubSpot’s Validation Rules for Properties?
New HubSpot features have been added to the CRM to make it easier for you to have a reliable database that you can use for various marketing or sales initiatives.
Custom text and numeric characteristics can now be subject to rules. Only after you've satisfied the property's requirements can you save the value you've entered. To maintain and upload the value into your database, you must follow the instructions.
To use the HubSpot validation rules, you must have super admin capabilities. Enroll your account in the Property Validation beta in order to use this functionality.
- The "Select validation rules" window will then open, displaying a number of checkboxes to enable validation rules for the values of the property. The selections are determined by the field type of the property.
- You can select a minimum or maximum number of characters for field types that support single-line text and multi-line text, respectively. Additionally, you can forbid special characters or limit values to only numeric characters.
- Use the Numeric field type to specify an amount range or the number of decimal places you need (this is particularly useful for currencies).
