# Text Does Not Contain

**Introduction**

The "Text Does Not Contain" step checks whether a text variable does not contain a specified substring and returns `Yes` if the condition is met. This step is useful for validating the absence of specific text within a variable.

**Configuration**

* **Variable**: The text variable to be checked.
* **Value**: The substring to ensure is not present within the variable.

**Outputs**

* **Result**: A boolean value (`Yes` or `No`) indicating whether the variable does not contain the specified substring.
