Field Settings and Validations

The Form Validations and Field Settings interface allows you to configure how the various form fields that are included throughout your user registration / log in system are handled.

SecurityAssist includes this interface to allow you to apply validation on various fields to make sure that the information entered into each field contains the appropriately formatted information. This interface also allows you to handle encryption of information that is inserted into the database when necessary.
