SCENARIO
You want to validate user input on one of your fields but there's NO Regular Expression (RegEx) built in to COOK to suit your needs
SO HOW DO YOU ADD YOUR OWN? Thanks to COOK, it's SIMPLE!!!
  1. In the Tables tab of the builder, click on the Properties for your chosen field
  2. In the Validator section of the popup, click select Custom
  3. Give your new validation rule a descriptive & unique name (NO SPACES OR SPECIAL CHARS RECOMMENDED)
  4. Type or paste your Regular Expression into the Regular exp. field
That's it!

I jumped and started to work on a demo component... but 2 days later this demo component became the real component. I just showed today the end result to my customer and he turned to me and said... "this is more than I expected"... All of this is because Cook did cut about 70% of my work and provided me more ways to improve the usability of the component. The end result was 17 tables all related between than to generate a full dashboard for the travel agents. Thanks for Cook developers for such great tool. This component would not be possible to be done at short time with all the features in it
