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 |

Examples: Scheduled Maintenance exception models
Assume that you have a Day Shift calendar that specifies 9AM – 5PM, Monday – Friday. Saturday and Sunday are not included in the calendar. There is a scheduled task that runs every hour beginning at 8:30 AM.
| Model | Result |
|---|---|
| No Exceptions model | The task runs every hour on the half-hour 8:30 AM, 9:30, 10:30, ... 5:30 PM and so on. |
| Only Calendars model | The task runs only during the Day Shift. The task runs every hour on the half-hour 8:30 AM, 9:30, 10:30, … 4:30 PM. The task triggers again at 5:30 PM, but does not run because it cannot run outside of the defined calendar hours. |
| Except Calendars model | The task run at any time except during the Day Shift. The task triggers at 8:30 AM, 9:30, 10:30, … 4:30 PM, but it does not run until the Day Shift ends. When the task triggers at 5:30 PM, it runs normally. |
