Hi,
There are two solutions for your request.
1) The Select node supports applying Like criteria on some data items, but this is not always available. According to the User Guide, the data item must not "contain metadata". In technical terms this means a custom attribute "Metadata=None" specified for this data item in the Information Map Studio.
In this case, however, you will lose an ability to select subscribers by clicking checkboxes in front of a prepopulated list of available price plan descriptions.
If you need both to be able to select descriptions by checkboxes from a list, and apply "LIKE" criteria - you may want to add this column to the information map twice, as two separate ddata items. One will have "metadata" enabled (and so show you checkboxes), and another won't have it and will support the LIKE criteria.
2) As a short-term gap solution to get by before you are able to introduce changes to the information map, you can create a calculated item with a formula like the following:
CASE WHEN
upcase(<<root.Price Plan Description>>) LIKE "%HOME%" or upcase(<<root.Price Plan Description>>) LIKE "%PHONE%"
THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
Best regards, Dmitriy.
