Validator overview

Validator

Validator helps users check whether data meets defined rules, requirements, or expectations.

What Validator is for

Use Validator when the problem is primarily about this specific kind of work. The goal is to solve one focused task well instead of asking users to fit every workflow into a generic process.

Typical value

Validator can help teams:

  • reduce manual spreadsheet work
  • apply the same logic more consistently
  • make outcomes easier to review and explain
  • prepare data for downstream reporting, import, sharing, or review

Common examples

  • verify that required fields are populated
  • check whether values fall within an allowed set or format
  • review data quality issues before import or sharing

Typical workflow

A common Validator workflow is:

  1. review the input data
  2. create or select a configuration
  3. start the Run
  4. inspect the output
  5. adjust the configuration if needed and run again
