Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
    • Analytics & Reporting  (Ad Hoc, YouCalc, ORD)
      • Story Report
        • Story Designer - Story & Formatting

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open an existing report or create a new one
  2. On the story page, add a story filter for the required field
  3. Choose the Filter by Condition option
  4. use the "Wildcard" Matches Pattern option

Resolution

The two available wildcards that can be used are

1. * (asterisk) - Matches any number of characters.  You can use the asterisk anywhere in a character string.

For Example:
a) using *President in position title list out all the position Title ending with President


b) using President* in position title list out all the position Title starting with President


c) using *President* in position title list out all the position Title that contains President

Note: the query is case sensitive

2.? (Question mark) - Matches a single alphabet/number in a specific position. 

For example, using 300000? position code field will give value such as 3000003, 3000004 etc.
