Hi, A phone number value type should actually be strictly validated using a user-defined string - and the default should be a 12-character string like this: "0nn nnn nnnn"
Some country databases might use different number systems, and where database content spans multiple countries the typical format would be "+cc nn nnn nnnn" (with cc being the country code). Although some fixed phone numbers will have extensions, those are from what I've seen less and less common (and can be handled using a standard 3 or 4-character text value type) Regards Calle On 2 April 2016 at 19:53, Prosper BT <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Team, > > It was good to introduce > the phone number value type especially for the tracker, but it accepts > characters, there is no validation on input. > > [image: Inline image 2] > > > -- > Prosper Behumbiize, MPH > Global HISP| University Of Oslo/HISP Uganda > +256 752 751 776 | +256 776 139 139 > [email protected] <[email protected]> | [email protected] | Skype: > prospertb > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dhis2-devs > Post to : [email protected] > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dhis2-devs > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp > > -- ******************************************* Calle Hedberg 46D Alma Road, 7700 Rosebank, SOUTH AFRICA Tel/fax (home): +27-21-685-6472 Cell: +27-82-853-5352 Iridium SatPhone: +8816-315-19119 Email: [email protected] Skype: calle_hedberg *******************************************
