Wildcards Within Filters

The NotifyLink Enterprise Server supports the asterisk and question mark as wildcard characters.  Wildcard characters should be used with caution to avoid unintended matches.

      Question Mark Wildcard – A question mark wildcard matches any one character in the place of the question mark.  

      Asterisk Wildcard – An asterisk wildcard character matches any combination or quantity (≥ zero) of characters in the place of the asterisk. 

      Multiple Wildcards – You can use more than one wildcard in a key word match.
