How do I create an input mask?

Question

We're needing to add some input masking for values. One such value is a date that must be in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" and a phone number that must be "(000) 000-0000". I was really hoping there was a date picker option but didn't find one. Any ideas?

I appologize if this is already somewhere but I couldn't find it.

Hello Jordan,

Unfortunately, there is no possibility to specify a format constraint for date properties. The thing is that in Adaxes Administration console dates are displayed according to the local settings. For information on how dates are displayed in the Web interface, have a look at the following FAQ article: https://www.adaxes.com/questions/10438/how-are-web-interface-language-and-date-format-selected.

As for the phone number property, you can specify its format using a property pattern. For details, have a look at the following tutorial: https://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_SimplifyingDataEntry_MakePropertyRequiredAndSpecifyFormat.htm. In your case, the regular expression should be as follows:

^\([0-9]{3}\)[0-9]{3}\-[0-9]{4}$

Thanks for the quick response!

I'll apply that regex and see if I can work around the date formatting.
