Note
-
When you use wildcards to specify subclient content, the content path appears in italics.
-
You can use more than one type of wildcard to define subclient content (for example, /[A-L]*).
-
To treat wildcard symbols as literals in the subclient content and not as wildcards, escape the character by adding a back slash (\). For example, /FS\?.
