An error message displays if the user enters more than the allowed number of decimal places. The image shows a Number control when a number with more than 6 digits are entered. The error message has been customized to say "Please do not enter more than 6 decimal places."
EMail pattern
If you use In-house (downloaded and installed on your computer), you can change ' built-in patterns for the Email control by editing the ''types.xsd'' file included in the <frevvo installdir>/tomcat/webapps/frevvo.war file. This file includes the email type definition shown below, and you can edit its pattern value. See the example in the phone pattern section below for instructions to modify the types.xsd file.
...
- Apply patterns to a control - Like other control properties, the pattern property will not need to be redone when you upgrade .
- Modify the built-in values in the types.xsd file. Be aware that if you modify the types.xsd file, you will have to make this change each time you perform a upgrade or apply a patch.
...
If you are using Online, you will not have access to types.xsd. Both cloud and in-house customers, can override the pattern in the phone control by setting its pattern property. You can only restrict a built-in pattern (such as the phone control) but not change the pattern via the pattern property. For example you can add the pattern 203-\d{3}-\d{4}. Now all phone numbers must start with area code 203.

A pattern such as ##-####-#### or ####-###-### is not a simple restriction. To impose validation against this pattern you must start with a Text control rather than a Phone control
