Chapter 6 - Item Restrictions Restrictions Settings
Include
When the Restrictions field is set to Character and Restrictions > Rule is set
to Include, the Include First and Include After columns are present in the item
window.
Include First column: Defines the first character of a character list.
Include After column: Defines the character list of the characters to follow the
first character (defined in the Include First column).
For example, the first character could be a letter and all characters that follow
could be either letters or digits.
Exclude
When the Restrictions field is set to Character and Restrictions > Rule is set
to Exclude, the Exclude and Reference String columns are present in the item
window.
Exclude column: Specifies the substrings in the input data that must be excluded
and replaced with the associated reference string.
Reference String column: Defines what the excluded character substrings will be
replaced with. If no reference string is specified, the Exclude substring is not
built.
On output, a character text item is built by using the corresponding reference
string when the content contains any of the Exclude character substrings listed.
