Setting Up Person Contact Type Algorithms

Format Validation

Person contact information can be subject to format validation such as ensuring a phone number is entered in a particular format.

The base product provides the algorithms C1-VALEMFMT (Validate Email Format), C1-VALPHFMT (Validate Phone Format), and C1-VALANYFMT (Any Format Valid), which your implementation may use (and if so, no further configuration is needed). If your implementation's business rules require additional format validation algorithms, you may introduce your own.

Note: These algorithms confirm that a specific format exists and do not reformat or apply formatting to the corresponding field; for example, the C1-VALEMFMT (Validate Email Format) algorithm confirms that the email address contains required features (such as an @ symbol and domain). It will not, however, insert these features.

If your implementation's business rules require additional format validation algorithms, you may introduce your own.
