@ Narmada,
Please try the below code:

if(
AND(
not(
rule!APN_isBlank(
ri!phoneNumber
)
),
len(
ri!phoneNumber
) < 11
),
if(
like(
ri!phoneNumber,
"[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]"
),
{},
"Enter 10 digits Phone number"
),
{}
)

Hi Narmada,

You can use the below to resolvbe your issue,
a!integerField(
label: "PhoneNumber",
value:local!phoneNumber,
saveInto: local!phoneNumber,
required: true(),
validations:if(len(local!phoneNumber)=10, {},"Enter 10 digits only")

)

the local!phoneNumber Is declared in load() and the a!integerField() is using under Form Layout.

Hope this will help.

Thanks
Sahil

Hi Narmada , Following rule might help you in validating mobile numbers of 4 different formats. Additional formats can also be added, if needed.

if(
isnull(
ri!mobileNumber
),
null,
or(
regexmatch(
"^(\+\d{1,3}[- ]?)?\d{10}$",
ri!mobileNumber
),
regexmatch(
"^($[0-9]{3}$ |[0-9]{3}-)[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}$",
ri!mobileNumber
),
regexmatch(
"^$[0-9]{3}$[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}$",
ri!mobileNumber
),
regexmatch(
"^\+[0-9]{10,20}$",
ri!mobileNumber
)
),
null,
{
"Invalid mobile number.",
"Valid formats (555)555-5555 or 555-555-5555 or 1234567890 or +1234567890"
}
)

Please note that, you need to install this plugin to use this function community.appian.com/.../regular-expression-functions

)

Hi Narmada,
You can create a rule and write following content inside it:

if(
or(fn!isnull(ri!data_anyType),ri!data_anyType=""),
true(),
length(ri!data_anyType) = 0
)

Where data_anyType is a rule input of type anytype

Hope this will help you.

Hi lokesh, regexmatch function is not available in Appian.

RE: Phone number validation

lokeshk822 — Thu, 18 Jan 2018 08:47:13 GMT

use the below regex, it will help you:

if(len(
local!variable
)>10,cons!WARNING_MESG,

{
if(
not(regexmatch("^([0-9]{1,10})$",local!variable)),
"Warning message",
{}
)})

Hi aloks, can you please tell me what you done on expression rule-rule!APN_isBlank

RE: Phone number validation

aloks0189 — Thu, 18 Jan 2018 07:28:02 GMT

Also, just a quick thought, if your application will be used across indian origin only, then this validation will work fine for you.

But if your application will be used across multiple countries, then this validation won't work for you, because number of digits for a valid mobile number varies from country to country.

Hence, if it's the case,. Your rule must be dynamic and configurable.

aloks0189 — Thu, 18 Jan 2018 07:19:15 GMT

Hi Narmada please make sure that, you are performing null check before evaluating length() because length() throws an error if the value is null.

So you can do it in following way:

if(
rule!APN_isBlank(local!phoneNumber),
{},
if(
length(local!PhoneNumber) > 10,"Maximum 10 digits are allowed",{}
)
)

Hope this will help you

HI,

Use IntegerField component, it only allow numbers,

for length validation

=a!integerField(
label: "Reference Number",
value: local!PhoneNumber,
saveInto: local!PhoneNumber,
validations:if(
length(local!PhoneNumber) > 10,"Maximum 10 digits are allowed",""
)
)

Hi,
Try to use a!integerField(). This will throw a validation message if any non-numerical characters are input. Then you can simply check - variable > 10 to show validation message

If you want to include hyphen or any phone number format then use regexmatch function. You can get the pattern from Google.

If you have to use a text field, you can also use cleanwith or stripwith function to perform validations.
