Wildcards and Special Characters in Document Classifications

When defining document classification parameter values, note the following wildcards and logical operators:

Wildcards

Wildcard characters * and ? are supported. For example, Unipr* would match any occurrence of Unipraxis.

Logical OR

Use the | symbol to represent a logical OR; For example, motel|hotel matches 'motel' or 'hotel'.

{ } sub-expressions

Use {} brackets to specify sub-expressions. For example, {motel|hotel} reservation matches 'motel reservation' or 'hotel reservation'.

Monetary values

Use %MONEY% to match any monetary value. For example, this matches $25, $25.99 or even 25.99. It detects $, £ and € currency symbols, and these currency codes: USD, GBP and EUR.

Social Security numbers

Use %SSN% to match social security numbers. CA DLP uses a sophisticated recognition process to cross-check against an imported system definition file (US Social Security High Group File) listing currently available SSNs. For example, this matches 123-45-6789 if it is listed in the current system definition file.

Special characters

To search explicitly for the characters { } | * or ?, prefix them with a backslash. For example, add \? to match any occurrence of '?'.
