8.8.3 How the Rule Works

This rule is used when you want to exclude part of the Identity Vault from synchronizing. It allows
you to synchronize some objects and not other objects, without using the Filter. When an event
occurs in that specific part of the Identity Vault, it is vetoed.
8.9 Input or Output Transformation - Reformat
Telephone Number from (nnn) nnn-nnnn to nnn-
nnn-nnnn
This rule transforms the format of the telephone number when a desired condition is met. Implement
the rule on the Input or Output Transformation policy in the driver. You can implement the rule on
either the Subscriber or the Publisher channel or on both channels.
There are two steps involved in using the predefined rules: creating a policy in the Input or Output
Transformation policy set and importing the predefined rule. If you already have an Input or Output
Transformation policy that you want to add this rule to, skip to
Section 8.9.1, "Creating a Policy," on page 124
Section 8.9.2, "Importing the Predefined Rule," on page 125
