Input Mask Ranges
These ranges allow a user to specify the minimum and maximum numeric value for a field. Only one
range is allowed per field. Using a range implies a numeric entry ONLY.
An example from the above table:
[0|255] This allows a user to enter a value from 0 to 255.Input Mask Next Field Characters
These characters allow you to specify a list of characters that cause the keyboard to move the focus to the
next field when pressed instead of inserting the text into the text area.
An example from the above table:
{.} or {:} or {.:} Tells the system that after a user hits any of these keys, proceed to the next text area input box.Input Mask Operations
