Symbol Technologies SPT 1500 - Manual (Page 147)

Applications: Mail
For example, suppose you want to receive only messages from John Smith ([email protected])
or Jack Jones ([email protected]) concerning the Apollo Project. You would create the
following filter strings:
To field filter string: [email protected], [email protected]
Subject field filter string: Apollo Project
Your SPT 1500 terminal interprets this as, “Accept messages about the Apollo Project from
John Smith or Jack Jones. Do not accept messages from other people. Do not accept messages
from John or Jack about any other subject.”
When you define a string, note that your SPT 1500 terminal searches for any instance of that
collection of characters. For example, if you create a filter that retrieves only messages
containing the string “info,” your SPT 1500 terminal considers “info,” “rainforest” and
“kinfolk” appropriate matches.
To define filter strings:
1. Tap a header field in the HotSync Options dialog.
2. Enter your filter string for the selected header field using commas or spaces to
separate the words. Do not add connecting words, such as AND or OR, between
words in a string.
3. If your string exceeds the length of the field, tap the name of the field to display the
Notes screen for that header field. For more information about header field Notes
screens, see Creating Messages on page 9-5.
