Hi-G-Tek IGMA51433/916, User Manual

- 13 - 

Each of the fields’ types must have the following attributes: 
 

name

 – each field must have a unique name. “udt-field” and “container-

field” have a predefined names “UDT” and “Container ID” respectively. 

length

 – the number of characters (ASCII characters)  the field holds. 

value

 – the field’s default value. 

desc

 – the field’s description. 

regex-pattern

 – regular expression pattern used to validate the value entered 

by the user for that field. The application validates the user input by 
matching the user input against the regex-pattern. If it matches then the 
input is valid, otherwise an error message is displayed (see details 
below).  If an empty value is set (that is, regex-pattern=””) then the 
application checks only that the value typed is no longer that the above 

length

 attribute. The Application employs the .Net Framework 

Nondeterministic Finite Automaton (NFA) engine for the value 
matching. 

valid-err

 – the message to be displayed to the user should the field value 

typed is invalid. See regex-pattern above. 

 
 
If there is a need to change the data structure of the fields in the DataSeal the user, or rather, 
the system administrator should do the followings: 

1.

Create a new settings.xml file or update the xisting one. 

2.

Increment the UDT version (udt-field). 

3.

Store the new settings file (settings.xml) under “\My 
Documents\Business\HiGTek\Settings” folder in the Pocket PC device.
