When to use Validator

Choose Validator when:

  • you need confidence that a file meets business rules
  • you want to catch issues before data moves downstream
  • you need a repeatable way to check quality over time

Good fits​

Validator is a strong fit for repeatable business rules that should be applied the same way each time similar data arrives.

Start small first​

For a first Run, test the workflow with a small sample File. This helps confirm that the result matches the intended business outcome before you scale up.

When to use a different Tool​

When the goal is to transform values rather than test them, another Tool is usually a better starting point.

You can also use Choose the right Tool if you are deciding between Tools.
