Masking in SAIL

sswilliams over 6 years ago

I need to put a mask on a text field in my interface. How is masking on text fields done in SAIL? For example I need to verify that an entry for a MAC address (70:5A:0F:44:3B:12) is correct. Thanks...

I suspect that there is some misunderstanding going on in this thread with respect to terminology, namely "masking".

In Appian, if a field is "masked" that means its input is obscured like a password box.

However I think the question is actually using the term "masking" in reference to enforcing pattern matching - in which case normanc 's answer looks like the likely best fit.

Thanks Mike. You are right, I'm referring to 'masking' - enforcing pattern matching.

If that is the case you can go with validation of the input as suggested by normanc . To use the regexmatch funtion you need to have this plugin deployed in your environment though.
