Masked Textbox Control

The Masked Textbox Form control outputs data according to the format defined by a Value Type. The Value Type dropdown provides validation for default and custom Regex.  

Example

1. Create a Flow and add a Show Form step from the Toolbox panel. Click PICK OR CREATE FORM and create a new Form.
   
2. In the Form Designer, add three Labels (PC Name, Email, MAC Address), three Masked Textbox controls (PCName, userEmail, macAddress), and a Button control (Submit).
   
3. On the Properties panel, for each of the Masked Textbox control fields, the default Value Type is General. Select the userEmail field and change the Value Type to EmailAddress.

   Value Type Option	Description
   General	Accepts any text formatting or characters
   Number	Enforces the textbox only to accept numbers
   Decimal	Configures the textbox only to accept numbers and decimal values
   Currency	Configures the textbox only to accept number values and only two decimal place values
   EmailAddress	Sets the textbox only to accept string values that contain an @ sign
   SSN	Configures the textbox only to accept a 9-digit SSN format
   PhoneNumber	Enforce the textbox only to accept a 10 digit Phone number
   Custom	Allows users to define their own custom string formatting

   

4. Select the Masked Textbox control for the macAddress field and set the Value Type to Custom. Enter "^([0-9A-F]{2}[:-]){5}([0-9A-F]{2})$" in the Custom Mask (Regex) field.
   

   Regex Section	Function
   ^	The beginning of the line
   ([0-9A-F]	Any numbers from 0-9 or uppercase letters
   {2}	Two letters or digits
   [:-])	The separator can be a : or -
   {5}	Any five characters comprised of upper letters (A-F) or numbers (0-9)
   ([0-9A-F]	Any numbers from 0-9 or uppercase letters
   {2})	Two letters or digits
   $	End of the value line

   

   
   

5. Select the Override Display Mask option, which will allow a user to customize the displayed format.  In the Custom Display Mask field, enter "99-99-99-99-99:99". A 9 is used to enable the end-user to enter any digit. Using another number will set that number in the format. Click Save and close the Form Designer.
   
6. Set the Input fields to Ignore for the mac Address, PC Name, and user Email fields. Connect the Submit path to the End step. Click Save to save changes to the Flow.
