How to change default filter operator to 'contains' instead of '>='

[jas101]

Hi guys,

Thought this would be relatively simple but I can't see where to to change this. Basically we have had a fair few folks ask if it is possible to change the default operator when using the 'Go to' search function from a '>=' operator to a 'contains' operator.

This must be possible right?

Cheers,

Daniel

From wiki

Administrators can add a property to perform a default contains search instead of a greater than search. To make this change, add the property glide.ui.goto_use_contains (it is not available by default) and set the property value to true.

Thanks Mahira. I presume by adding this system property as an admin I would be making a system wide change then? Likewise I presume therefore, that there is no way individual ITIL users could set this some way themselves?

Yes dasi . This would be a system wide change. I don't think any individual itil user would be able to set this.

Hello Dasi,

Isn't using the operators directly in the box an option in this case?

Whenever i search anything i prefix search string with '*' operator to search for contains, similarly i prefix the search string with '=' operator to check for equal to results.

Hope that helps,
