Rules and guidelines for user-defined pattern labels

Rules and guidelines for user-defined pattern labels

When you create a user-defined pattern, you must use labels that the parse asset recognizes.
Consider the following rules and guidelines when you add labels to a user-defined pattern:
  • Use label values that appear in the
    Labeled Name
    field in the test panel.
  • Your pattern can contain a label that represents more than one token in a name. For example, you might define a label with two values to represent a hyphenated last name. Use the
    Custom Token
    label option to define the label.
  • The following table describes the labels that the parse asset recognizes:
