Setting up code event

To validate a data from a dropdown selection, you must set up the event parameter in code event and map it to the code group.

  1. Select Code maintenance > Code event.
  2. Click New.
  3. Specify this information:
    Description
    Provide a description for the code event.
    CodeGroup
    Specify a name for the code group.
    Usable
    Select the option if the validation defined is used.
  4. Under Event parameter, specify the event parameter for the code group.

    Here are some samples of event parameters:

    Event parameter Format Sample
    Regex email validation "<FieldName>": {"RegEx": "<RegularExpression>", "ErrorMessage": "<StringKey>"} {"CommunicationText" : {"RegEx" : "^(([^<>()\\[\\]\\.,;:\\s@\"]+(\\.[^<>()\\[\\]\\.,;:\\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@((\\[[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\])|(([a-zA-Z\\-0-9]+\\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$","ErrorMessage": "ValidationError_InvalidEmail"}}
    Format "<FieldName>": {"Format": ["<FieldFormat>”]} {"Phone”: {"Format": ["+01-nnn-nnn-nnnn"]}}
    {"Phone”: {"Format”: ["+(420)-nnn-nnn-nnnn",”+(nn)-nnn-nnn”]}}
    Note: 

    <FieldName> must be replaced with the correct field.

    <RegularExpression> must be replaced accordingly to your business needs.

    <StringKey> to be used must not have a parameterized message.

    For <FieldFormat>:

    • Ensure that the number of characters complies with the number of characters required by M3.

    • Use n to represent each numeric placeholder where you need a digit (0 to 9). Confirm that the number of n characters matches the required length for that field

    • Use a plus sign (+), parentheses (), or a dash (-) to format these fields, if appropriate for clarity and compliance with system requirements.

    • If there are multiple field format defined, no placeholder will be displayed on the field.

    The format validation only take effect on fields set as SingleLineTextBox.

  5. Click Save.
