    Currently I am using Salesforce. In it there is a provision for adding 100 validation rules per Object. A simple example of validation could be like, if 'Company Type' is 'Emerging' then make 'Specify customer Credit worthiness' filed mandatory.
    Hope this helps. If not, please do convey so that I will provide more details.
    Thanks

    You can't do this out of the box. The scenario you described is likely best handled by the use of a custom view. Other situations may best be handled by other features, like a logic hook. Point being, it is going to require some customization work.

    Thanks Angel. You have mentioned that this may be managed by 'custom view'. Can you pls elaborate more on this? I am completely new to this and fear of spending lot of time on experimenting
