Value Masks

You can use a value mask for fields where users need to enter data in a specific format. This enhances consistency and reduces the possibility of input error.

 

A value mask is a linked series of symbols you can use to define:

• The type of data users can enter

• The text that will show in the current field

• The type of data user need to enter – Upper case or numbers, for example

• The numeric range allowed for the numeric portion of a field or label
