Understand filter wildcards and case sensitivity

Wildcard Characters

Filters are included on several pages and side sheets in MES Web Portal, for example, the Work Order and Entities collection pages and Standard Item side sheets. The filter entry boxes have implied wildcard characters placed before and after your text entry. This causes the list to be filtered by any list entries that contain your text entry.

For example, if you enter pec, the following list entries would match:

• Feeder - Pecans

• Pallet - Pecans

• Scale - Pecans

All of the filter boxes, except the Available Entities filter box on the line configuration Layout tab, allow you to specify a range of characters using square brackets. [a-z] indicates a single alphabetic character, and [0-9] indicates a single numeric character.

For example, if you enter pallet[0-9], the following list entries would match:

• Pallet1

• Pallet80

However, the following list entries would not match:

• T101- Pallet

• Pallet-100

Case Sensitivity

Text entries in filter boxes are case insensitive, except the Available Entities filter box on the line configuration Layout tab, which is case sensitive.
