Searching for jobs using wildcards: Reference

A wildcard represents unknown information in the search criteria. Use a wildcard when you are unsure of spelling; if you can remember only part of the identifier; or if you cannot read an entire identifier. When filtering jobs on identifiers in Job Manager, you can use a question mark (?) to represent one character or an asterisk (*) to represent one or more characters.

You can include wildcards in any search criteria that requires text entry. These criteria include Patient ID, Patient Name, and Accession Number.

You can use a wildcard anywhere and as many times as necessary:

• At the beginning - *SHA

• In the middle - MO?HA

• At the end - MOUS*

• In any combination - ?O?S?A
