### Alias Identifier Wildcards ###
Each of the alias identifiers (except LTR-Net unique ID and Status) allow you to specify a single character wildcard (asterisk) or a full java regular expression to use when matching identifiers.
Examples:
```
0-**-123 LTR talkgroup 123 on any LCN
ABCD12** Any electronic serial numbers beginning with ABCD12
(?!FA-40|FA-41|FA-42).* Any lojack site ID except for FA-40, FA-41, or FA-42 (use '|' to separate each site identifier)
```
