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 |

Audit processing
Maintenance of the Audit Specifications table used for audit processing follows normal Service Manager file maintenance procedures. For some tables, such as the contacts table, the out-of-box Format Control specifies that each time an update occurs, the audit.compare application is called. If you invoke auditing for a table for which Format Control was previously set up to invoke auditing, both trigger.invoke.auditor and Format Control will generate audit records, resulting in two audit records.
Note If you are invoking Auditing from Format Control or a RAD call, ensure that you invoke Auditing after Validity Table processing but before the record add or update.
