COmanage Registry supports the concept of data normalization. For example, if a petitioner enters the text " los angeles "
into a field, normalization could correct that to "Los Angeles"
.
By default, normalization is disabled. Normalization is enabled on a per-CO basis, via CO >> Configuration >> CO Settings. Once enabled, normalization currently happens transparently, without meaningful user feedback (CO-282). After a supported form is submitted, normalizations are run before data is written to the database.
Currently, the following normalizations are supported:
Normalization | Description |
---|---|
mixCase | Make the first character in each word upper case and the remaining characters lower case. |
trimWhitespace | Leading and trailing whitespace is removed. |
All defined normalizations are always run on the relevant data (models), when normalization is enabled for the CO.
Model / Field | mixCase | trimWhitespace |
---|---|---|
Address.line1 | ||
Address.line2 | ||
Address.locality | ||
Address.state | (if string is at least 4 characters) | |
Address.postal_code |
| |
Address.country | (if string is at least 4 characters) | |
CoPersonRole.title | ||
CoPersonRole.o | ||
CoPersonRole.ou | ||
CoPersonRole extended attributes of type VARCHAR |
| |
EmailAddress.mail |
| |
Identifier.identifier |
| |
Name.honorific |
| |
Name.given |
| |
Name.middle |
| |
Name.family |
| |
Name.suffix |
| |
TelephoneNumber.number |
|
Additional normalizations can be added by writing a custom plugin. When adding new normalizations, note that NormalizationBehavior should run before Changelog Behavior.
