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 create a record from a release record
You can create additional knowledge, news articles, projects, or programs from a single release record. These records are called related records.
When you create a record from an existing record, Service Management automatically creates a relationship between the records.
Note Data domain assignments are not copied when you create a knowledge or news article from a release.
For more information about domains, see Data domain segmentation.
To create a new record from a release:
-
From the main menu, select Build > Release.
-
Service Management lists all releases arranged in column format. If necessary, select the columns that you want to view.
-
Click the record identifier in the ID column to display the selected record.
If you select an individual record, Service Management displays the contents of that record in the right pane.
-
On the toolbar, click and select the type of record to create from the change.
Service Management displays the correct form to gather the appropriate information for the new record, and automatically fills in common information.
-
Enter the details for the new record, and save the record.
The following relationships are created:
-
Articles. In the release record, the knowledge and news articles appear on the Related knowledge tab.
-
Projects and Programs. In the release record, the program or project record appears on the Related records tab, in the Related projects and programs section.
-
