Using a Wildcard Character to Find Assets

How do I use a wildcard character to find assets?

The asterisk (*) is a wildcard character that can help you search for assets. The asterisk represents any letter combination.

For example, to search for asset descriptions containing the letters D-E-S-K, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Asset List view.
  2. Select Edit/Find from the menu bar. The Find window appears.
  3. From the Look In drop-down list, select the Description field.
  4. From the Select an Operator drop-down list, select one of the following:
  • contains (*abc*)
  • ends with (*abc)
  • begins with (abc*)

If you select contains (*abc*) in the Find What field, the application finds assets with the letters D-E-S-K- anywhere in their descriptions.

If you select ends with (*abc) in the Find What field, the application finds asset descriptions that end with the letters D-E-S-K.

If you select begins with (abc*) in the Find What field, the application finds every asset description beginning with the letters D-E-S-K.

  1. In the Find What field, enter the letters D-E-S-K.
  2. Select the Find All button. The system displays the Find results in the Asset List.
