About the webinar

This Webinar is a one-hour session ideal for Monitoring and Evaluation professionals and Information Management Officers who are interested in learning more about Regular Expressions (RegEx).

In this session, we’ll take a look at Regular Expressions and how they can be used when working with data. We will also explore the use of Regular Expressions when writing Formulas in applications such as the ActivityInfo platform and present what we can achieve using them.

Some of the key points we will cover are:

• What Regular Expressions do and when to use them
• Using Regular Expressions in validation rules for data collection
• Practical examples using ActivityInfo

You can also download the presentation and test your Regular Expressions with our Regular expression tester.
