Introduction
The OddBytes Platform has many areas where filters - text, date or numerical - can be applied to different columns.
When searching for and/or filtering for certain word(s) within the platform, OddBytes offers a wildcard function. This way, you can search for word or phrase which starts with, ends with or contains a specific word or phrase. Our wildcard is the asterisk (*).
