How to use the data entry application setting "UseEditMaskToEnforcePrecision" to enforce characteristic values of a specific precision across all data entry setups?

NOTE : Use this option only if you intend to use a constant numeric format across data entry setups where users would prefer if Statistica automatically filled in 12.1 as 12.10.

1. Login to Data Entry Server and launch IIS Manager. Navigate to the Data Entry Site and then double click on "Application Settings"
2. Find the application setting named : "UseEditMaskToEnforcePrecision" and set it to true.



3.  Set your EditMaskInteger and EditMaskChar to the precision of choice. For example, if you are sure that all characteristics will only be 4 numbers or lesser, use 9999 (This does not include the decimal places - This will be determined at the characteristic level)



4. Open Command Prompt as an Administrator and execute iisreset for these changes to take effect.
   

5.  In the characteristic Options in Enterprise Manager, define the number of decimals for your input validation




5. For all data entry setups that have characteristics , Data Entry form will now define how the inputs should look like with as many values as defined in : EditMaskInteger  and displaying the EditMaskChar for all the places that can be filled with numbers. The decimal places will still be determined by the characteristic option defined.


Note that Statistica Data entry will automatically fill in 0's for the places not filled.
