Configuring character validation

Portfolio administrators can enable or disable the character validation security for form fields. With the character validation enabled, administrators are prevented from using parentheses "()" or angle brackets "<>" within protected fields of the Admin console. As those characters may be deemed necessary for SEO purposes or to accommodate the naming of some search sources, this configuration allows administrators to disable the setting.

To disable character validation

1. Log in to the Admin console.

2. Click Security from the navigation panel.

3. Click Configure Character Validation from the Security menu.

4. Read through the disclaimer about the risks involved with disabling the validation. Then select the checkbox for "I have read and agree to the terms and conditions stated above" to acknowledge the risks.

5. Click Disable Character Validation.
