Property-Based Conditions wildcards in views, it is possible to search using a "or" condition?

Jaime

Hello All, I have the folowing situation, a person need to create a View that shows all documents that match containing 2 strings in the document's name, one or another.

for example: is there a way to search in one view all documents that contain the word "aaa" or "ccc" in the document name?

I just fount the opction match the wilcard with ??? for replace letters or * to replace the rest of the string, but can't do a "Or"

    It is not possible to use OR in conditions. In case you need to allow multiple lookup values you can get around it with "one of", but I don't see how that could be done with your text based alternatives.

    If it is either or, a hard string, I'd probably try to force them to put it into a dropdown, to thus allow the "One of".
    Otherwise, you can always make a hidden calculated field if the vProperty.TextField is either option, set the boolean to Yes or some other flag method. Then you could do your view possibly based on that hidden metadata field that was set.
    Just make the Metadata Card configuration hide it from users.

    Thanks, I had the same question, and, to be frank, it is quite confusing how such a simple option cannot be selected. Seems like a basic feature to me.
