Import Task - Can I use a wildcard in the File Name?

Joseph Van Denburg

Can we use wildcards in an Import Task File Name parameter? If yes, what is the wildcard character?

Import Type: Work Detail Import

Hi Joseph,

Yes, you can use wildcards in the Import Task File Name parameter for a Work Detail Import.

The wildcard character used is the asterisk: *

This means you can specify a pattern such as data_*.csv to match multiple files where the * represents any sequence of characters. This is helpful when you want to import multiple files that follow a naming convention without listing each file individually.

Hope this helps!
