Wildcard rules allow you to warn users based on a product Family or product Category that is included in the Quote.


Wildcard rules must be created from the "Rules" tab since they are not related to a specific product or Bundle.


Here are some real-life rule scenarios for wildcard rules:

  • Create a rule to warn a user if a certain Product Family "Subscriptions" is on a New Business Quote, but there should also be a product from a different family, such as "Services"
    • Scope = Current Order
    • Rule Type = Requires
    • SubType = Family
    • Action = Warn
    • Transaction Types = New Business
    • Text Criteria = Subscriptions
    • Product Required = Services
  • Create a rule to warn a user if a certain Product Family "Subscriptions" is on all types of Quote, but there should also be a specific product included.
    • Scope = Current Order
    • Rule Type = Requires
    • SubType = Family
    • Action = Warn
    • Transaction Types = New Business, Existing Business, Renewal
    • Text Criteria = Subscriptions
    • Product Required = 01t2M00000IpzfiQAB (The 18 digit product ID)


Current Limitations: Wildcard rules can be used "Warning" rules only, they do not work on Validation rules. Additionally, wildcard rules can only be used when a Family or Category is "Included" on the quote.
