Using wildcard characters for filter values

Wildcard characters

When you define a filter value with the condition Contains or Does Not 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 Does Not Contain, the value cannot include the wildcard character combination .*.

Example
