Option to set own joker sign in statistical reports

2007-05-03

In several reports you can search for part of the product code or similar. If you write PAR as an example (those searches are not case sensitive, so PAR and par will give the same result), all those containing PAR will be included, such as SAPPARRA, PARIS. Technically this is a search with a joker sign before and after PAR, %PAR%. By using this new function - Use your own joker sign - you will be able to insert the joker signs instead of having the system to set them before and after. This is very handy if you would like all starting with PAR but not SAPPARA for example. In this case you write PAR%.
