Search with Wildcard Characters

Using the wildcard characters, you can execute search without entering the complete name or ID of the document, item or tag you are looking for. The wildcard characters compatible for search in AVEVA Asset Information Management Dashboard are as follows:

• % (percent) and * (asterisk)

  These two wildcard characters behave similarly when used for executing a search. A wildcard can match any number of characters.

  Note: The system can be configured to automatically append a wildcard.

• _ (underscore)

  Use _ (underscore) to specify a single character. For instance, when you perform a search for t_st, the results return all available instances where there is a single character between t and st.

• [ ] (square brackets)

  Use the [ ] (Square brackets) when you are searching for an object that contains any of the special characters, for example, [_] or [*] or [%].
