Card Controls Options (2025 SP1)

In the SOLIDWORKS PDM Administration tool, you can select one of the following as a Search match type while editing or adding List and Combobox card controls to the search and file card:

• Exact: You can search for files, folders, and variables in the SOLDWORKS PDM File Explorer whose search results exactly match the search input.

  For example, if you search for weldments in Name, the search results include only those files, folders, or variables with the exact name weldments. If you want all files that include weldments in the name, enter an asterisk (*) as a wildcard, for example weldments* or *weldments*.

• Implicit wildcard: You can search for files, folders, and variables in the SOLDWORKS PDM File Explorer whose search results include the search input.

  For example, if you search for weldments in Name, the search results include all files, folders, or variables whose names include weldments (for example, weldments, weldments_box, and weldmentspro).
