11.11.8 Configuring Validations for Answer Registration

You can configure validations that you can use to control the answers a user is allowed to register for all questions at the time of registration.

Validations are used to validate the answers given by a user at the time of registration. For answers, you can restrict the users to alphanumeric and a few specific special characters by adding a Regular Expression validation. For example, if the question, "What year did you start junior high school," is assigned the Month-Day-Year (MMDDYY) validation, a user registering for this question is not allowed to provide "April 1st 1920" for the answer.

You can assign unique validations to each question to control the answers a user is allowed to register. While creating or editing questions, you can assign a validation, by selecting validation type from the Registration Validation list. You can also import and export validations.

To learn about validation types, see Create New Validation.
