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 |

New/Edit Component Dialog Box
This dialog box enables you to define a component based on an external URL. You can set up wiring to use attributes from contexts sent by other components to define the URL's pattern, such as CI attributes.
Workspaces > My Workspace
Alternatively, click My Workspace.
Access the Component Gallery and click Add External Component, or select an external component and click Edit Component Properties.
-
Important Information: URLs for external components must begin with one of the following:
https://
,http://,
orftp://.
If a URL is saved with a different prefix, the OMi session will hang. -

This area enables you to select one or more contexts whose attributes will be used to define the URL pattern:
-
If you select CIChange, CI attributes can be used to define the URL.
-
If you select EventChange, event attributes can be used to define the URL.
-
If you select ViewChange, the view name can be used as an attribute.
User interface elements are described below:
UI Element (A-Z) |

Add Context. Add a context whose attributes can be used to define the URL pattern. A dialog box enables you to select which context to add. |
|
Remove. Select a context and click this button to remove it from the list. |
<Context> |
Each line represents a context whose attributes can be used to create the URL pattern. |
URL Parameters and Values

|
Remove. Select a URL parameter and click this button to remove it from the list. |
Attributes |
This contains a list of the attributes that can be used to build the URL pattern. This list is dependent on the contexts you select in the Wiring Context area. For example, if you select To use an attribute as the value of a URL parameter, drag the attribute from this area to the Value area of the parameter. |
URL Parameter and Value |
Each line represents the name of a URL parameter which is used to create the URL pattern, and its value. After defining a parameter name, drag an attribute from the Attributes area to the Value area of the parameter. To edit a parameter name or value, click the parameter or value itself and edit its contents. |
URL Parameters |
This shows the URL pattern that was built using the static URL that you entered in the URL field, and the URL parameters that you defined in the URL Parameters area. |
Based on the wiring context, different attributes are available to build the URL pattern.
