# Set up web service

On a Dataverse table, you can use a web service rule to:

- Validate if a field value matches a value in another internal or external source.
- Set a field value with a value from another internal or external source.

To set up a web service rule, first set up the web service to be used.

You can find the required web service settings, to be used for the web service setup, in the technical documentation as provided by the web service provider.
