How to filter notifications in RTC Eclipse
![](http://jazz.net/_images/myphoto/6772618f181b279a261305d84bf51906.jpg)
I wonder if anyone knows how to filter the alert notifications that pop up in the bottom right corner of the screen when using the RTC Eclipse client. I have found Window->Preferences->Notifications and now I would like to set the values to see a subset of 'Build Finished' notifications for some specific build definitions.
However, although I have tried different combinations of Match strings in the Conditions box I cannot find any values that work. I have tried various combinations including the name of the build definition and any string beginning with the string "Successful". Whichever value I use I get *no* alerts showing.
Does anyone know how I should use this Match string for build notifications?
Thanks, Colin.

I have managed to find an answer to my own question. The solution was to make sure I used a wildcard at the beginning of my string.
Go to Window->Preferences->General->Notifications
Select "Build Finished"
Add a new Notification
In the entry field for Match string, type in the build name for which you want to be notified. Make sure you add a wildcard at the beginning. For example, if you want to find all builds with the title "Install", add the letters "*Install*" (without the quotes).
Click Apply
My mistake before was to assume that the name of the build definition was at the beginning of the notification. I tried matching notifications with the string "Install*" and the notifications would not appear.
