We introduced text input field validation in Box Sign, ensuring that the information entered into text fields when completing signature requests meets the predefined rules, format, and naming convention defined by senders and template creators.
With field data validation, users can ensure and maintain accurate field entry, minimize incorrect data entry errors, and streamline signing experiences for their recipients.
Users can configure different validation options to ensure the right data is applied by recipient to fields, including:
- Numbers: Automatically checks for numbers using 0 to 9 with no spaces and the option to include a period or comma in between the numbers.
- Email: Ensures the standard email address format (username@domain.tld) is used.
- Date: Confirms the proper date format based on the selected format option, including ISO, US, UK/EU, JP/CH/KO formats, and more.
- ZIP Code: Automatically ensures that the predefined ZIP code format requirements are met, which include four and five digit US Zip code formats, and the seven digit Japan ZIP code format.
- Social Security Number (SSN): Confirms that a proper US-based, nine digit social security number is properly entered.
