Case Strategy Properties

You can configure properties for case conversion strategies.

On the

Strategies

view, you can configure the following case conversion properties:

Conversion Type: Defines the case conversion method that a strategy uses. You can apply the following case conversion types:

Uppercase
. Converts all letters to uppercase.

Sentence Case
. Capitalizes the first letter of the field data string.

Toggle Case
. Converts lowercase letters to uppercase and uppercase letters to lowercase.

Title Case
. Capitalizes the first letter in each substring.

Lowercase
. Converts all letters to lowercase.

The default case conversion method is uppercase.
Leave Uppercase Words Unchanged: Overrides the chosen capitalization for uppercase strings.
Delimiters: Defines how capitalization functions for title case conversion. For example, choose a dash as a delimiter to transform "
smith-jones
" to "
Smith-Jones
." The default delimiter is the space character.
Reference Table: Applies the capitalization format specified by a reference table. Applies only if the case conversion option is
Title Case
or
Sentence case
. Click
New
to add a reference table to the strategy.

If a reference table match occurs at the start of a token, the next character in the token changes to uppercase. For example, if the input string is
mcdonald
and the reference table has an entry for
Mc
, the output string is
McDonald
.
