- Under User & Contact Settings, click on the hyperlink for User/Contact Standard Field Settings
- From the left-hand list of standard fields, click on the hyperlink for Zip / Postal Code
- In the Validation setting, enter isMatch(@value@, 'LNL NLN', true)
- Enter a Validation Message, such as "Postal Code must be in the format of 'A#A #A#', example: 'M5V 2H1'."
