In the
Regular Expression field, use a regular expression to specify the format of the commit message you require,

Refer to the instructions on the dialog box for its use.
Clicking the Save button on this dialog box saves your regular expression to the Regular Expression field in the Associate Issues With Commit section of the AccuRev Connector panel.
