Article summary

Issue

If you try to filter for a User ID with a comma, such as Doe, John, Whatfix displays an error message, "Following User IDs do not exist".

Probable Cause

Whatfix shows the error because the comma is read as a separator, splitting the ID into two parts.

Suggested Solutions

Filter the User IDs using the following methods:

Filter a single User ID that contains a comma

Example: Doe, John

Enclose the User ID in quotes: "Doe, John".


Filter multiple User IDs (some with commas)

Example: "Doe, John", "Smith, Jane", Adam

  • Add quotes around every User ID that contains a comma.

  • Separate each User ID with a comma placed outside the quotes.


Filter a User ID that already contains quotes

Example: "John"

If the User ID itself includes quotation marks, enter it exactly as shown, no commas inside the quotes.

User IDs without commas or quotes can be entered normally.
