String Subtypes

For string data types, you can specify a subtype that provides additional capabilities and optionally enables additional syntax validations to be performed. For the syntax validations, select Error to enforce the validation (see details in the table below) or select Skip to ignore that validation.

Setting	Description	Optional Syntax Validations
Basic	Basic string information without any special capabilities or validations.	None
Email	Email address	Email Syntax Required: Select Error to validate that the string has valid email syntax.
Hyperlink	Hyperlink information that provides these additional capabilities: Users can click the link and navigate to the link destination. Note: When a user is in the context of a request, the hypertext link is displayed in plain text so that it can be edited. Click Actions and select Open Hyperlink to navigate to the link target. Users can right-click the link and perform standard link operations, such as Open in New Tab, Save Link As, etc.)	Secure Protocol (HTTPS) only: Select Error to validate that the link begins with https:// Note: By default, https:// is used for links when the protocol is not provided. So if this validation is set to Error, oracle.com will not fail (since it defaults to https://oracle.com) but http://oracle.com would. Prevent User Information: Select Error to validate that the link does not contain any user information (such as a user name or password). Link Syntax Required: Select Error to validate that the string can only contain valid hyperlink syntax. Tip: If you set this validation to Skip, users are able to enter non-hyperlink text, such as "None" or "Not available".
