Certified Pega System Architect v8.0 (2019) — Question 13

You are implementing a data entry screen to include an asset ID field to track company equipment. All asset IDs are eight characters in length. The first three characters are letters followed by a five-digit number.
Which validation approach restricts entries to the required format?

Answer options

• A. Text data type
• B. Validate rule
• C. Edit Validate rule
• D. Min/Max characters

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C (Edit Validate rule), is specifically designed to enforce complex formatting rules such as the one described for asset IDs. The other options, like A (Text data type), do not impose any specific structure on the input, while B (Validate rule) and D (Min/Max characters) do not adequately restrict the input to the outlined alphanumeric pattern.
