Masking allows you to use one user ID to specify a number of user IDs that have characters in common and in the same position. When creating a masked user ID, include these common characters in the correct position and fill in the other positions with dashes (-). The dashes act as a mask. When the product processes the user ID, it ignores the dashes, and selects only user IDs that match the unmasked characters.
For example, to specify all user IDs whose first two characters are HQ, you would enter the following user ID:
HQ------
This user ID would specify IDs such as HQ23NR57, HQNNABC, HQ123456, or HQ5. It would not specify 23NR57HQ or NRHQ5397.
By entering a masked user ID for the destination user, you send or store the message to all users that match that ID.
Masking can be used with any type of identifier: terminal ID, application ID, group name, and so on.
