![Hinweis bei Materialien die Sonderzeichen enthalten](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/materialManager_Boards_special_characters_editView_de.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A13Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A13Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=aY5iTXYrOG%2BXVgkkJq12QEPdAASx1%2B0x3hqA0HHR7iY%3D)

Note on materials containing special characters

In order to facilitate the future integration of various software solutions such as woodStore, [Schnitt Profi(t)](https://www.homag.com/cutrite) and the export to csv files in your working environment, [the materialManager](https://www.homag.com/materialmanager) will now inform you if the following special characters are found in the material/plate or edge code: **/ $ & @ < > " ' ; # % * ? ,**

For example, when creating or changing a panel type, the [materialManager](https://www.homag.com/materialmanager) warns you of possible incompatibilities with other software products and thus contributes to the secure interaction of different software products.
