Ignoring the case of text

For parameters that have text values, use the caret (^) value modifier before the value of the parameter to ignore its case. The ignore case modifier causes variations in the case of the value to not affect the execution of the event handler. For example, if a user is unsure of the case used for the system user IDs, use the following parameter specification for the overriddenBy parameter:

<PARAMETER name="overriddenBy">^janedoe</PARAMETER>

In this example, the event handler executes when the overriddenBy value is janedoe, JaneDoe, or some other combination of upper and lower case letters.

The ignore case operator does not affect parameters that have numeric or NULL values. The modifier is ignored, even if the numeric value may be specified as a text value. The condition parameter is an example of a numeric value with text equivalents because it can also be specified as accepted.
