selecting an E-Mail component, e.g. "Subject";
selecting a criterion, e.g. "Is exactly";
entering an argument, e.g. "minutes".
In this case it would be verified whether the subject of an E-Mail exactly matches the argument's characters ("minutes"). You can control if the condition is met with the criterion and the character string. The differences between the single criteria will be explained in the examples below. In the examples, the subject is used for filtering E-Mails.
Criterion: "contains" The condition is met if the subject contains the characters in the argument. Example: The argument is "minutes".
The condition is met for the subject "minutes".
The condition is also met for the subject "meeting minutes".
Criterion: "is exactly" The condition is met if the subject exactly matches the argument's character string. Example: The argument is "minutes".
The condition is met for the subject "minutes".
The condition is not met for the subject "meeting minutes".
Criterion: "Matches" The condition is met if the subject exactly matches the characters in the argument. The character string can contain wildcards. Example: The argument is "minutes*". The "*" character is a wildcard for any characters.
The condition is met for the subject "minutes".
The condition is not met for the subject "meeting minutes".
Criterion: "Regex" The condition is met if the subject contains the characters provided by the regular expression in the argument. Regular expressions allow complex requests. More information can be found on respective sites on the Web. The following, very simple regular expression should give an insight to the topic. Example: The argument is "organi(z|s)ation". The expression "(z|s)" stands for either the "z" or the "s" character.
The condition is met for the subject "minutes".
The condition is also met for the subject "organisation".
The condition is not met for the subject "Organic".
