Hi All,

Is there a way, that we can return an exact match when we are searching multiple customers/accounts/texts in one text box.

 

Example - We have an assignment list to filter where assignment names can be like Assignment1 , Assignment21, Assignment19 and so on.

Now we have given end users a text box where they can search multiple assignments at the same time by just concatenating the assignment names with a Comma.


Now when the end user searches :  Assignmen1,Assignment21

 

Result returned is : Assignment1,Assignmen21,Assignment19 
This happened because we use FIND function which searches for contains when we search like this, as per the Anaplan Smart Filters.
Is there anyway we can make it an exact  match only and not contains?

    Hi @MarkWarren ,

    You are correct this can be achieved through quick filters, but this will be not be used solely for filtering but also act as a control to perform operations on the filtered assignments/rules without doing anything else(manually making the Boolean true for such assignments/rules).

    The intent is to reduce the number of clicks business has to perform for making any adjustment to any rules/assignments.

    Let me know if any more clarity is required.

    Hi @rob_marshall ,

    I am afraid this will not work as the assignment/territory list have 150-200k entries, and the end users can't manually check each Boolean, that is why they are asking for filters which will filter the assignment/territories and at the same time select them for any modification.

     

    Let me know if any more clarity is needed.
