Phone Number

Phone Number is a single-line box for a telephone number. The respondent sees a handset mark in the empty box. It sits in the Contact Info group of the Add Content palette.

​

Settings

The card carries the settings every field shares. Phone Number adds the same four a text field has.

• Placeholder, up to 255 characters, shown in the empty box.
• Minimum Length and Maximum Length, counted in characters.
• Validation Pattern, a regular expression the answer has to match.

There is no phone-specific validation message, so Validation Pattern is how you insist on a format. If your process needs numbers in international form, ask for it in the Description and back it with a pattern.

​

What it stores

Text, the number as the respondent typed it. HireData does not reformat it.

Evaluation

Switch Criteria, Scoring, or Skills on for the form in the Evaluation tab and each one gets a switch on this card. A number is rarely worth evaluating, so most forms leave all three off here.
