Wild cards and filter properties
The percent (%) character (wild card) may precede, trail, or surround a filter string. The filter properties:
include, exact, and match case further limit search results.
Figure 13. Example search with leading wild card
The example above filters on Station Name using the include and match case properties. A string, such as %8000 with the include box selected, returns records with the following possible values in the Station Name column: HQ-8000, myStation-8000, but not myStation-HQ.
In another example, the string myStation, with the exact check box selected, returns only results that have myStation as the complete Station Name. More or fewer characters in the name exclude the record from the filtered results.
You may add other criteria to further refine this search.
Filter properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| include | Includes results that match the pattern defined by the wild card expression. |
| exact | Looks for the specific string text. If you use the percent character, the system looks for the actual percent symbol and does not use it as a wild card. |
| match case | Configures the search to be are case-sensitive. |
