File patterns and filters

#File patterns

A file pattern limits which files a job includes. The default * matches everything; a pattern like *.csv matches only CSV files. Patterns are matched by name, so mind case where your systems are case-sensitive (*.CSV vs *.csv).

#Excluding hidden and system files

A job can exclude hidden and system files so incidental files (like OS metadata) aren't transferred. Leave this on unless you specifically need those files.

#Renaming on the destination

A job can write files to the destination under a different name using a destination filename pattern — for example, adding a date stamp or matching a naming convention a downstream system expects. Configure this in the job's destination settings.

#Tags for organization

Add tags to a job to group and find related jobs — for example by department or system. Tags are organizational only; they don't change what a job does.

#Tips

• Test a new pattern with a manual run and check the file list in the run detail.
• Prefer specific patterns over * for jobs that share a folder with unrelated files.
