Alphanumeric

The Alphanumeric server validation checks the contents of a specified server variable to determine if all characters entered are text or a number. In addition, it can be configured to allow or disallow entries that contain upper or lower case text, spaces, numbers, and special characters. It can also be configured to accept blank entries.



Set the configuration options and click OK to complete configuration of the validation within the Server Validation dialog.

The following options are available for configuration of the Alphanumeric validation:
  • Allow upper-case letters: disables validating against uppercase text characters
  • Allow lower-case letters: disables validating against lowercase text characters
  • Allow numbers: disables validating against numeric characters
  • Allow spaces: disables validating against spaces when checked
  • Allow other: enter any special characters that should not trigger the validation. Do not include spaces or delimiters between specified characters.
  • Allow blank entry: configures the validation to allow blank entries or not allow them.
