50. Does the CMS facilitate data validation (e.g. validate date, time, fixed length values, regular expressions, etc.)?

Answer:

  • yes, for instance, during batch import coordinates in DMS format are automatically converted into decimal degrees, without needing further parsing, if they are well formatted (e.g. “10° 45’ 30” N”). Errors in formatting are detected and notified to the user.

  • Validators are also available in the interface.

  • Possibility to define custom input template for the syntax of collection numbers (simplified regular expression).
