When setting up a short text field you may want to limit the number of characters the user can enter, or restrict the user to only use numbers, such as for a BSB or account number.
To do this first add a new field into Folio, and on the field type select Short Text:
You will then see two options for customising the field, under Format you can choose between text which allows both characters and numbers, or restrict the user to only numbers:
Then under Character Length you can restrict the field to only accept entries within a certain range. By default the range is 0-255, which is the max for short text fields. You can change the minimum ad maximum length by dragging the blue sliders:
If you want to restrict the field to an exact number of characters simply drag both sliders to the same place:
The length and format restrictions will be added to the field as instructions:
Which can be edited at any time, and will appear on the edit screen for a folio that uses that field:
