Step 1 Create Record Validation Live Component

Before starting this tutorial, locate the API name of the standard Object you wish to use. Find the list of API's here. For this tutorial, we will use 'Opportunity'.

  1. Create a visual force page for Record Validation Live. Navigate to Salesforce Setup, then under 'Build' click the arrow next to 'Develop' and choose 'Visualforce Pages'. Example image:
  2.  Click the 'New' button:
  3. At 'Label' enter "Record Validation Live", at 'Description' enter 'Record Validation Live feature'
  4. Check the checkbox 'Available for Lightning Experience, Lightning Communities, and the mobile app'.
  5. At 'Visualforce Markup' field, enter the following code. Make sure you replace *API_NAME* with the API name you find at beginning of this tutorial.
    <apex:page standardController="OBJECT_API_NAME" readOnly="true" showHeader="false" sidebar="false" title="RV Layout">    <recordval:rv2Rvlive recordId="{!OBJECT_API_NAME.Id}"/>
</apex:page>
