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.
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. |
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 |

How to escalate an incident record
If you are an Incident Manager or Incident Coordinator, you can escalate an incident record to reduce the resolution time, add expert resources, or both to meet Service Level Target objectives. Your organization may have different teams to resolve different types of incidents.

-
Select the incident record that you want to edit from the list of incidents.
To filter the record list, click the Add filter button. For more information, see Filters.
- Expand the Assignment section.
- Select an Assignment group or an Assignee (or both).
-
Click Save on the toolbar.
Click the record identifier in the ID column to display the selected record.
The incident is reassigned to a member of the appropriate team.
