 Triggers for global data links for navigators or dashboards that use wildcards (:guilabel:`*`) for service names can't be top-ranked navigators or dashboards for inferred services.
 
 For example, a navigator or dashboard associated with a global data link that contains a :guilabel:`Show On` value of ``sf_service:*`` can't be a top-ranked navigator or dashboard for an inferred service. To create a global data link that acts as a default navigator or dashboard for an inferred service from the :guilabel:`Monitoring` tab, the :guilabel:`Show On` value must include the name of the inferred service. For example, if you are creating a global data link for a default navigator or dashboard for the inferred service ``mydb``, the :guilabel:`Show On` value must be ``sf_service:mydb``.
