My incrementing Task IDs are made up of 6 digits, with padding of zeroes in the start.
When using Basic Search in the list view of Tasks Module, If I want to search for a Task ID of “345” I have to search like “000345” with padding of zeroes. I want this to happen automatically so that I don’t have to type the padding of zeroes. How can I accomplish this?
Hi,
you could add this to your config_override.php:
'search_wildcard_infront' => true,
it appends your chosen wildcard in front of each search term by default.
Otherwise, you could just search for %345 or *345.
Will this also work for filtering by Basic Search of ID in ListView?
Will this also add same prefix for advanced searches of Customer Name and Task Name?
The problem with chosen wildcard is, for an ID like “000045” prefix should be four zeroes not three like in “000345”. So script has to auto determine that number of zeroes of prefix!
Hi,
a wildcard is universal placeholder, if used, it doesn’t matter how many characters are in front of your search term. And yes, this attribute will work in the filter of listviews as well. Please keep in mind that basic and advanced search could use different placeholder characters (there is also a setting for that).
