Account Template
If your organization wants to use segmented account numbers, templates for validated formats can be set up on this tab.
Note: Do not add segments here if your organization does not intend to use the template function; adding segments when using the Direct Account table can cause issues with the table functionality.
Use Direct Account Table – the default value is ‘Y’ (checked), if you want to use segmented account numbers this box should be unchecked. If set to ‘Y’, the users will get the original Direct Account LOV when using frames with Direct Account fields. If ‘N’, a new LOV will display that will allow segments based on the template created here.
Segment Delimiter – choose the type of delimiter to be used between each segment, for example a dash (-) or a slash (/).
Preserve Alignment Spaces – for example, if the minimum length for a segment is two and the maximum length is ten and you want to preserve the additional eight spaces, you would check this box.
