Select the Object to which the rule will be associated. Choices are: Contact, Contract, Organization, Request, Contact Request or Organization Request, and Assignment.
Select the Object Type to which the rule will be associated. Contract examples are: MSA, SOW, NDA or other defined type.
Define a rule for the object if necessary by turning to ON the "Apply Rule Where" toggle.
Set the Requires at Least number. This determines how many items from a sub-grid are required.
Select the sub-grid from the dropdown.
Add a Validation Error Message that will be displayed on the record if the Validation Rule has not been met.
Define a rule for the sub-grid item if necessary by turning to ON the "Require Items Where" toggle.
