Minimum Length	String: Minimum length for the text List: Minimum number of list items
Maximum Length	String: Maximum length for the text Note: For Planning applications, the Maximum Length value is 1000 because the property configurations cannot be changed. List: Maximum number of list items
Invalid Characters	Characters that are invalid if used in the text
Invalid First Characters	Characters that string data type properties cannot begin with. (String data type properties only)

Dynamic: The allowed values for the property are dynamically determined using a specified node set and filter options. See Defining Allowed or Invalid Values for a Property.

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 subtypes with 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
Address	Physical address	Enable Address Verification: Selected: Use an Oracle Address, Email, and Phone Verification global connection to verify the addresses in a request. Note: You must have an Oracle Address, Email, and Phone Verification global connection already configured in order to verify addresses. See Creating Global Connections. Not Selected: Store the user-entered text as an unverified address string. Validation Severity (available only if Enable Address Verification is selected): Error: The address must be verified before a request can be submitted. Warning: The request can be submitted with an unverified address. Default Country (available only if Enable Address Verification is selected): Specify the default country to be used to verify the address. If no country is provided in the address that is entered in the request, the Default Country is used. For information on the supported countries, see Get Started with Address, Email, and Phone Verification in Using Oracle Address, Email, and Phone Verification. Standardize Verified Address (available only if Enable Address Verification is selected): Select this option to update the Address property value in a request to a standardized format when the address is verified. Note: When you enable this option, the country is appended to the address. Address Line Separator (available when Enable Address Verification and Standardize Verified Address are both selected): Specify the separator character used to designate a new line in a standardized address.
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".
