ApplicationXtender administrators can use a validation mask to specify the exact format (character pattern) required for each text index field that is associated with an application. If the administrator selects the Validation Mask option for a text field (in ApplicationXtender Administrator), ApplicationXtender performs a character-by-character validation of each value that you specify for an index field during the document indexing process. This action ensures that data is stored in the database in the designated format.
ApplicationXtender extends the concept of field masking to enable administrators to mask field display values. This feature prevents you from viewing confidential data in index fields.
You can view the index fields when you view documents from the Query Results page. The masked field values are not visible in the ApplicationXtender Web Access user interface, regardless of user permissions. An asterisk (*) appears in place of each masked character in the index field. You can modify the index values for masked fields, but you cannot view the original value.
