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 retire a brand record
Note
-
You must have the appropriate permissions to be able to retire a brand.
-
If you retire a brand, this has no effect on existing records.
To retire a brand record means changing its status, as shown in the workflow snapshot at the top of the record, from Active to Inactive.
For example, your company previously bought Dell PowerEdge Servers, and now it is time to retire them. You will replace them with HP PROLIANT servers. The brand “PowerEdge” is no longer in use, so you can retire it by moving its phase to Inactive.
To retire a brand record:
-
From the main menu, select Plan > Vendor > Brands.
-
Select the brand record.
To filter the record list, click the Add filter button. For more information, see Filters.
-
Click the record identifier in the ID column to display the selected record.
-
Click Inactive, then Save.
