🏠 Feature Overview
Validation Lists are a flexible way to create a type of list which can be used to validate information against. This can be a suppression list (a list of values to exclude against), white or black list, or a key account list (leads have to match against) and commonly a pick list (ensuring a lead value matches a predefined set of values).

We have 2 types of Validation lists. One that is global on the enterprise and can be used by all Advertiser campaigns: ‘System > Validation Lists’. The other type is associated to a specific Advertiser and only available for use on their campaigns: 'Advertisers > Validation Lists' (See Related Content in the table above)
