Input masks provide a visual guide allowing users to more easily enter data in a specific format such as dates and phone numbers.
Be aware, if the "Enable password input" advanced property is checked, it will override the input mask functionality.
Using Custom Input Masks
- Use a '9' to indicate a numerical character.
- Use a lower case 'a' to indicate an alphabetical character.
- Use an asterick '*' to indicate any alphanumeric character.
- Use a question mark '?' to indicate optional characters. Note: All characters after the question mark will be optional.
- All other characters are literal values and will be displayed automatically.
