This section is about a setting for Zipcode validation for the site object

 

The Setting Name called SITEVALIDATOR_ZIPCODE_VALIDATION can be invoked in order to enforce required formats during data entry from the GUI for the Zipcode field.

 

There will be no zipcode validation when: 

 

oThe UserSetting of SITEVALIDATOR_ZIPCODE_VALIDATION does not exist 

oThe UserSetting exists, but the LayoutSetting value is null 

oThe UserSetting exists, but the LayoutSetting has an empty list of values like: "[ ]" 

 

 

There will be a zipcode validation when: 

 

oThe UserSetting SITEVALIDATOR_ZIPCODE_VALIDATION exists with at least 1 object in the list 

oSettingName: SITEVALIDATOR_ZIPCODE_VALIDATION 

oUserId: CLIENT 

 

 

Different multiple zipcode formats can be added for any required country. For a Zipcode verification to happen when a site object is created, the corresponding site's country name must be specified in the Layout Setting list. More than one object can exist in the Layout Setting field (comma separated).

 

The following is an example of the default Layout Setting in every IMS environment. This can be modified accordingly:

 

[  

{  

        "Country": "Netherlands",  

        "ZipCode": "#### [A-Z][A-Z]"  

    }, {  

        "Country": "Netherlands",  

        "ZipCode": "####[A-Z][A-Z]"  

    }, {  

        "Country": "Netherland",  

        "ZipCode": "#### [A-Z][A-Z]"  

    }, {  

        "Country": "Netherland",  

        "ZipCode": "####[A-Z][A-Z]"  

    }  

]  

 

The Layout Setting must be in a JSON format.

 

When a new site is created - and the country of the city exists in the zipcode validator in the  UserSettings, IMS checks if the format of the zip code is correct. If it is not, an error message will appear with the given format(s) from the UserSetting:
