Which method can be used to provide a required field check in Pega?

A validate rule is specifically designed to enforce business rules, such as checking for required fields in forms and data entry. By implementing a validate rule, you can set conditions that the input data must meet before it is accepted in the application workflow. This functionality allows for real-time feedback to users, ensuring that all required information is filled out before proceeding, thereby enhancing data integrity and user experience.

On the other hand, data transforms are primarily utilized for manipulating and transforming data between sources and targets, not specifically for validation purposes. Decision tables are structured decision-making tools that evaluate combinations of conditions but are not directly used to validate form inputs for required fields. Data pages are employed to retrieve data from an external source or database and don't inherently check for field requirements throughout the user interface.
