HI,

 

I want to write a validation rule. The scenario is  lead status must be changed from open with in 48 hours and if not the refferal will loose his visibility. How can i do this?

You could create a workflow:

 

1. Create workflow on the Lead object.

2. Name the workflow

3. Entry criteria - Lead Status = Open

4. Select Time Based Workflow

5. Set to 48 hours after rule trigger date

6. Add workflow action - Field Update

7. Select the Owner field

8. Change the owner to someone else (sys admin or manager)

9. Add workflow action - Send email

10. Create the email and have it alert the manager and owner that they lead has been removed

11.Activate workflow

12. Create a test lead to try it out.

 

Try that.

If you are on EE or UE you might be able to do something like that using a Workflow Rule with a Field Update
