Default How do I set up restrictions in my documents?

A restriction in my documents will be of a great help. For example, all
numbers in column D should be <10. This will surely help drastically in my
employees Data Entry work and also save time and effort.

Thanks.

Try Data Validation

Assume the restriction is to apply to data entry in col A

Select col A
Click Data Validation
Under Allow, choose Custom
Put in "Formula:" box: =A1<10
Click OK

Test it out ..

Oops, you did say col D

It should read:
Select col D
Click Data Validation
Under Allow, choose Custom
Put in "Formula:" box: =D1<10
Click OK
