    "Field Phone Number must be Numeric" error when updating user

    • Product: Alma

    Question

    Trying to add new or edit user contact information gives error: "Field Phone Number must be Numeric".

    Current setup for "phone regex" may be: (((\s)*?\d(\s)*?-?)*(\d))?(\s)*

    Answer

    One library applied the following syntax to resolve the email error, in:

    User Management Configuration Menu > Other Settings > phone_regex

    ^([0-9\(\)\/\+ \-]*)$

    And here is another suggestion, enabling long phone numbers (more than 9 digits):

    ^(\s)*[\d\+\(\)\- x]{4,}$

    Additional Information

    The syntax cam be tested at: http://regexpal.com
