Using wildcard characters for filter values

Wildcard characters

When you define a filter value with the condition contains or doesn't contain, the value can include the wildcard character combination .*. This character combination represents any number of any character.

If the condition is other than contains or doesn't contain, the value cannot include the wildcard character combination .*.

Example
