Entry masks is a way to pre fill a field with a specified format and force the respondent to enter only answers corresponding to the mask that was setup.

 

9 - Only a numeric character

L - Only a letter

$ - Only a letter or a space

C - Only a custom character (case sensitive)

A - Only a letter or a custom character

N - Only a numeric or custom character

? - Any character

/ - Date separator

: - Time separator

. - Decimal separator

, - Thousand separator

\ - Escape character

{ - Initial delimiter for repetition of masks

} - Final delimiter for repetition of masks
 

If we want to respondent to enter only numeric based chars within a field we can use for example a mask of : 9999 which will ask the respondent to enter 4 chars.
