For all `string` attributes, CrossEngage offers a range of operators that can compare the values with case sensitivity:

| **Operator**                 | **Description**                          |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `==CaseSensitive`            | Equals case sensitive                    |
| `<>CaseSensitive`            | Unequals case sensitive                  |
| `startsWithCaseSensitive`    | Starts with case sensitive               |
| `notStartsWithCaseSensitive` | Doesn't start with case sensitive        |
| `endsWithCaseSensitive`      | Case sensitive ends with                 |
| `notEndsWithCaseSensitive`   | Case sensitive doesn't end with          |
| `containsCaseSensitive`      | Case sensitive contains substring        |
| `notContainsCaseSensitive`   | Case sensitive doesn't contain substring |
