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 |

All User Groups associated with an NNMi Role that is a higher level than the NNMi Role you select can also access this action (see Determine which NNMi User Group to Assign). To determine the NNMi Role assigned to each User Group, in the Configuration workspace, expand the Security folder and select User Groups. For each User Group provided by NNMi, the Description attribute includes the NNMi Role associated with the User Group. (This setting cannot be modified in User Groups provided by NNMi.) Caution Each Tools and Action menu item provided by NNMi is associated with a default NNMi Role. (To determine the default NNMi Role assigned to each Action menu item, see Actions provided by NNMi.) If you change the setting for a Menu Item provided by NNMi to a Role that is a lower level Role than the default NNMi Role assigned to the menu item, NNMi ignores that change. Any User Group with the lower level Role than the default NNMi Role cannot access the menu item. |
