Applies To: WatchGuard Data Control
To create folder exclusions for Data Control searches, indexes, and reports, you can use the * and ? symbols. To perform a single-character wildcard search, use the ? symbol in place of the single character you want to replace. To perform a multiple-character wildcard search, use the * symbol to look for zero or more characters.
You can use the * wildcard and ? symbol with these system variables:
