Set Up Field Validation

You can configure fields so that they automatically validate a response against criteria you define during setup. Through this process, you can use our conditional logic functionality to define the conditions and rules that these responses will be evaluated against in addition to any standard options (e.g., word count, number of responses) available for specific field types.
