Advanced: Apply a regular expression to a card number

This page applies to:

In Web Cashier, card/identity numbers can be used to access the user details. This can be done in the following ways:

  • the Web Cashier administrator can enter the card number in the Web Cashier Username field

  • automatically populated by a card reader

If you automatically populate the Username field from the card number, you can apply a regular expression on the card number.

For example, if you have stored only the last six characters of a card number in PaperCut NG/MF, you can apply a regular expression to the card number in Web Cashier so that only the last six characters are used to populate the username.
