Symptom

How to configure a Regular Expression (reg-ex) for National ID format that would match a single character that is either a whitespace or a digit

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Resolution

  1. The syntax used for "National ID format"  should be "N" which represents a number.
  2. The reg-ex should be [\s\d]{1} which matches a single character that is either a whitespace or a digit.

    Example:
    National ID Format: NN.N-NN
    Condition: where the 3rd N should either be a whitespace or a digit
    Reg-Ex: [\d]{2}.[\s\d]{1}-[\d]{2}
