The asterisk (*) indicates a placeholder.

  • Only letters

  • Only uppercase letters

  • Only lowercase letters

  • Custom Regex

Custom Regex

If, in Mask Rule, you select Custom Regex, you can specify a custom regex as a character combination as required by your use case.

Link settings for fields

If in the Settings/properties pane you select the field type Link for a field, in the Value section, in the Open in field, you can choose between the following options:

If the URL for the link of the field is a relative URL, select the checkbox Relative URL. The path of the URL is checked upon triggering. Do not select the checkbox if the URL for the link of the field is an absolute URL. If the absolute URL does not contain a protocol, the protocol https:// is prepended to the URL path upon triggering of the link.

System variables as default values

For field filters in the adaptive list template, in the Default Value section, you can select system variables in the System Variable field. The system variables you can select in the adaptive list template correspond to the system variables Username and Name as they are defined in the User tool or the so-called DateRange (as defined as a system variable on a user instance of Neptune DXP - Open Edition from a current date up to the next 180 days following the respective current date).

For an input field to source a predefined set of values, in the Settings/properties pane, select the field type in Type to ValueHelp.
