Student UIC

The Student UIC module was created to provide a field for entering and storing student universal identifier code. The module provides a default field widget and formatter.

You are able to configure how the UIC is stored in the database at creation. Some of the options allow you to set;

• If the UIC allows for numerics
• If the UIC allows for alpha characters (a-z)
• If the UIC allows for special characters (!@#$%^&*() by default, but configurable to allow more)
• If the UIC follows a standard regular expression (standard PHP regex patterns are accepted)

The default field formatter allows for you to optionally obfuscate the student uic during display with a configurable length. When student uics are obfuscated, the configured obfuscated characters will be replaced with an asterisk (*). A permission is provided to allow overriding of this obfuscation.
