Wildcards

You can use wildcard characters * and ? when you define a list of trigger words or phrases.

?

A ? wildcard matches any digit, letter or punctuation character.

Example: spen?er matches names such as Spencer or Spenser.

Example: ref???a matches words such as ref328a.

*

A * wildcard matches any sequence of zero or more digits, letters or punctuation characters.

Example: unipr* matches words such as Unipraxis.

Example: holiday req* matches phrases such as holiday request.

If the search expression is simply '*', the trigger fires if it detects anything.

Literal * and ? characters

To search for literal occurrences of * and ? characters, prefix them with a '\' backslash.

Example: What next for Unipraxis\? is needed to match What next for Unipraxis?

Example: 24\*7 is needed to match 24*7.
