Defining Masks for Task Web Client Fields

Use masks in Design Studio to restrict Task web client user input for a field to a specific format.

To define a mask for a Task web client field:

1. From the Studio menu, select Show Design Perspective.

2. Click the Data Element tab.

3. Select the data schema entity that contains the field for which you want to define the mask.

   The entity opens in the Data Schema editor.

4. In the Dictionary area, select the data node for which you want to define the mask.

5. Click the Data Schema editor OSM tab.

   See "Data Schema Editor OSM Tab" for more information about the fields on this tab.

6. In the OSM Element Mask field, specify the string of characters used to define the format of the data in the Task web client field.

   Use a mandatory mask character to create a field where a user must enter information in the appropriate format to complete the task. See "About Masks" for more information.For elements that inherit data from a base type, this field is read-only. See "Leveraging Existing Data Information" for more information.

7. Click Save.
