Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
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. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

PPM_Demo and PPM CAPs
The purpose of the PPM_Demo and PPM Content Acceleration Packs (CAPs) is to provide a set of items (Scorecards, Contexts, KPIs, Metrics, and more) that automatically gathers information from across your enterprise to build key performance indicators (KPIs) related to PPM-related issues with OOTB data from Data Warehouse as well as Dashboard pages that display the relevant information. The CAPs include the Project Portfolio Management Perspectives. The CAPs provide broad and deep insight that should enable you to Align with Business Strategy, improve the Stewardship of IT Investment, Accelerate Agility, and Improve Project Execution. This CAP provides a 360 degree Project and Portfolio Managementview.
The PPM_Demo is based on data in .csv files that are part of the CAP package and PPM CAPs include data from data sources.
The relevant content pack is PPM. For details, see Integration with PPM.
