Character Limit

For rich text and textbox field types, a character limit can be applied. This column will allow you to place either a maximum or minimum number of characters. When using the character limit column, consider the following points: 

  • Can only be applied to Textbox and Rich text fields.
  • When a character limit is reached, the field will prevent further characters from being typed.
  • Student Information System (SIS): If your SIS has a character limit, the corresponding field on the form should likely have one too. For example, a short or abbreviated course title.
  • Internal Processes: Internal best practices might dictate certain character limits. For example, a course number should only be 3 or 4 numbers.
