A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Author System Properties

System Properties are global variables with values that do not change. Once created, you can use these system properties in any flow without having to recreate a flow variable each time. The flow referenced to a system property obtains the value of the system property.

Naming System Property Files

The name of a system property is limited to 128 characters.
Valid characters for system property names are: a-z A-Z, 0-9, underscore ( _ ), and hyphen ( - ).

Period (.) can be used as delimiter (only in the middle of the name).
The combined name and path of a system property (under the Configuration/System properties folder) is limited to 220 characters.
Names must be unique within their folders.
Names are not case-sensitive, so names such as "Ping" and "ping" are considered duplicates. However, when calling an item, make sure to use the correct case.
A system property name cannot include spaces.
Names cannot be identical to the following Windows reserved words: CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, NUL, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, LPT9 .
If you enter a name with an error, an error indication is displayed. When you focus out of the field, the value will be reset and a default name assigned.

In certain cases, if the change is causing the YAML to be corrupted (for example name too long) the name will be reset. Otherwise, it will not be reset and an error indication is displayed.

Create a system properties file containing system properties

In the Projects pane, expand the Configuration folder.
From the System Properties folder or a subfolder within the System Properties folder, click the New button and select System Properties File.

Note You can also click the New button to create folders in which to store the system properties files.
Enter a name for the system properties file and click OK.
In the Authoring pane, under the system properties file tab, click the New button to add a new system property to the system properties file.
Enter the details of the system property in the columns:
- Identifier: Generated automatically, based on the namespace and the name that you provide in the Name column.
- Name: Enter a unique name.
- Value: Enter a value for the system property.
- Sensitive: Select the check box, if the system property contains sensitive data. During runtime, the value will be encrypted.
  
  Tip It is recommend not to set a value when a system property is marked as sensitive. The sensitive values appear as asterisks in the file.
  
  As you enter text in a field, if the value being entered will cause the underlying YAML file to be corrupted, OO Designer shows a warning on the text field. If you select a different field at this point, the value will be reset to the previous value.
Repeat to add more system properties to the system properties file.
Click the Save button in the Authoring pane.
Click Show as Text to display the system properties file information in YAML code and click OK to close.

Manage individual system properties

To edit a System Property:
1. Open a system properties file containing it, and then double-click the cell you want to edit.
1. After making changes, click the Save button in the Authoring pane.
To delete a System Property from within a system properties file:
1. Click on the system property row to select.
2. Click the Delete button.
3. Click the Save button in the Authoring pane.
Note If you delete a system property that is used in a flow, this system property will still be shown as selected in the flow. You need to replace this in the flow.
