# Set up data pattern - Data Quality Studio on Dataverse

You can use a data pattern rule on a Dataverse table to validate if a field value matches a defined pattern.

To set up a data pattern rule, first set up the data pattern to be applied. Define the data pattern, using a regular expression.

You can, for example, set up data patterns to validate:

- Email addresses
- Website URLs
- VAT numbers

For more information on regular expressions, refer to [Regular expression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression).

### Steps

1. Sign in to **Data quality studio on Dataverse**.
2. In the **Site map**, click **Data Patterns**.
3. Click **New**.
4. In the **Name** field, enter a descriptive name for the data pattern.
5. In the **Data Pattern** field, enter a regular expression that defines the data pattern.
6. In the **Error Message** field, enter the message that is shown when validation fails to match the data pattern.
7. When you create a data pattern, by default, your user account is assigned as the owner.

You can assign another user account as owner.

In the **Owner** field, if desired, you can make changes.
8. Subtask: Test data pattern.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> The test is automatically done. In the **Test Cases** section, you can compare the actual result with the expected result.
  1. You can test the created data pattern to verify if it gives the desired results.

In the test **Cases** section, click **New Test Case**.
  2. In the **Input** field, enter a test value.
  3. In the **Expected Result** field, indicate if you expect the input value to fail or past the test.
  4. Click **Save & Close**.
