The application allows you to use the User Interface (UI) to self-configure the Auto App validation configurations as per your requirement.
This feature in the UI is accessible for only System Admin and Business Admin.
You can enable or disable the data validation settings using the corresponding flags present in the following sections:
- Vehicle (Light, Medium, Heavy Duty and Powersports) Validations and Configuration
- Equipment (Off-Highway & Equipment) Validations and Configurations
