8.2.1.4 String Base Conditions

The string base conditions share the parameters Text and Comparison, with some exceptions. The string base conditions compare the configured text to the value of the associated field, using the specified operator, see Figure 128.

Figure 128 Comparison Parameter in a String Base Condition

Descriptions of the comparison types are listed in Table 75.

Table 75 Comparisons
Comparisons	Description
Begins with	Checks if the string value of the associated field starts with the configured text.
Contains	Checks if the string value of the associated field contains the configured text.
Ends with	Checks if the string value of the associated field ends with the configured text.
Exact match	Checks if the string value of the associated field is an exact match with the configured text. This condition is case insensitive by default.

As an example of the use of a string base condition, the following may be considered. If the Comparison is selected as Begins with and the value "aa" is entered in Text, the condition is true if the value of the associated is either "Aardvark" or "aardvark".

The Match case check box defines if the string condition should be case-sensitive or not. If the check box is selected, the condition in the above example is only evaluated as true if the value of Selected Field is "aardvark".
