Type of Policy: Regular Expression

What it is used for: Search for the consistent use for the formatting of phone numbers. Think (404) 555-1212 versus 404-555-1212. The following check will flag phone numbers that DO NOT have parentheses.

How to set it up:

  • Use Regular Expression

  • Set policy to “Page does not contain" the Regular Expression:

\(?\d{3}\)?-?\s?\d{3}-?\d{4} 

For information on how to create Policies, please see Policy Overview.
