Add a Pattern to a Field

Prev Next

This article will show you how to add a pattern to a field.

Important Notes

  • “One-off” patterns can apply to fields; this is if you just type into the field of a schema instead of selecting one of the suggestions. These fields do not have a “name” and will show as Advanced

  • Pattern formatting uses RegEx (Regular Expression)
