Using Criteria VQL to Filter Records

Business admin users can use Criteria VQL to limit the results returned for Reference fields, Parent/Child fields, and Related Object app sections. This helps remove invalid records from selection and ensures the correct data is populated. Vault Query Language (VQL) is an SQL-like language used to query information in Vault CRM. See Configuring Reference Restraints for more information.

For example, to limit the accounts available for selection as a Primary Parent based on the account’s country, business admin users can populate the Criteria VQL field for the primary_parent__v field on the account__v object with primary_country__v = {{this.primary_country__v}}. When an end user selects the Primary Parent for an account, the options displayed are parent accounts with the same country as the account.
