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 |

Attributes Page
This wizard page enables you to edit the attributes of the CI type.
Important information |
For each attribute, there are columns which display its name, display name, type, description and default value. There are also columns for each attribute qualifier. A check mark indicates that the qualifier is selected. Click the Edit button to edit attribute details and qualifiers. For CI types with instances, some qualifiers cannot be modified, as displayed in the Qualifier can be modified when there are CIT instances column. If a qualifier is modified for a selected attribute for a CI type with instances, the attribute of each CI instance is changed accordingly (for example, if the Visible attribute is selected, the CI instances become visible in IT Universe Manager). |
