Validating Data

To meet the validation requirements for your business, you can use Siebel Visual Basic or Siebel eScript to create a custom code that uses validation rules before Siebel CRM records or deletes a record. You can use data validation to access the following types of data:

• Internal data. For example, you can write custom code that configures Siebel CRM to verify that the revenue amount for an opportunity is greater than zero if the probability of the opportunity is greater than 20 percent.

• External data. For example, to verify the availability of a conference room before Siebel CRM inserts a new activity, you can write custom code that reads data from the database table of an external application.
