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	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Shortcut Menu Options

This section includes a list of TQL query shortcut menu options:

UI Element (A-Z)	Description
Add Calculated Relationship	Enables you to create a calculated relationship. For details on how to create a calculated relationship, see Triplets Page. For details about Impact Modeling, see Impact Modeling.
Add Compound Relationship	Enables you to define the connection between two query nodes using a compound relationship. For details, see Add/Edit Compound Relationship Dialog Box.
Add Join Relationship	Enables you to define join relationships. You create them by defining an attribute for each query node. These query node values are used for comparison during federation. For details, see Add/Edit Join Relationship Dialog Box.
Add Related Query Node Wizard	Displays the Add Related Query Node Wizard which enables you to build a TQL query. For details, see Add Related Query Node Wizard.
Add Relationship	Enables you to create a relationship for your query nodes by selecting it from a predefined list. Displays the Add Relationship dialog box. For details, see Add/Edit Relationship Dialog Box. Note In Enrichment Manager, this option adds an Enrichment relationship to the rule when working in Enrichment mode. Applicable for regular and Enrichment query nodes. For details, see Enrichment Manager. Added relationships are denoted by an added indicator.
Add to Hierarchy	Adds the selected query node to the hierarchy as a separate query node. Note Only relevant for the Modeling Studio.
Add to Model Output	Designates the selected query node as output for the pattern-based model. Note Only relevant for pattern-based models in the Modeling Studio.
Change Query Node/Relationship Type	Displays the Change Query Node Type dialog box. Enables you to change the CI type of the query node after you have created it. For details, see Change Query Node/Relationship Type Dialog Box. Note Only relevant for the Modeling Studio.
Clear	Available by right-clicking a query node or relationship when working in Enrichment mode in the Enrichment Manager. Clears the query node/relationship's Enrichment rule definition. For details, see Enrichment Manager. Appears only if you have updated or deleted a query node/relationship using an Enrichment rule. Note Only relevant for Enrichment Manager.
Copy/Paste	Copy/paste an existing TQL query node/relationship in the same query or into another TQL query. The copied TQL query node/relationship includes all TQL definitions. You can copy and paste relationships provided that the TQL query nodes to which the relationships are connected are also selected. A relationship on its own cannot be copied without its connecting TQL query nodes. You can select multiple TQL query nodes/relationships as well. Note The Copy and Paste options are only available in the Modeling Studio. The Paste option is available only after using the Copy option to copy an existing TQL query node/relationship.
Define Impacted	Defines which query node in the TQL query is the trigger Impact Analysis query node and which query nodes are impacted by the changes that occur in the system. For details, see Impacted Query Nodes Dialog Box. Note Only relevant for Impact Analysis Manager.
Delete	Deletes the selected query node/relationship/CI. Note This option is not available for calculated relationships.
Delete Relationship/Query Node	Available by right-clicking a query node or relationship when working in Enrichment mode. Creates a specific Enrichment rule that is designed to delete CIs/relationships from the RTSM. Applicable to regular query nodes and relationships only. You can use this option, for example, for removing unnecessary data from the RTSM. For details, see Enrichment Manager. Deleted query nodes and relationships are denoted by a removed indicator. Note Only relevant for Enrichment Manager.
Edit Relationship	Displays the Refine Relationship Type dialog box. For details, see Refine Query Node Type Dialog Box. Note Not relevant in the Modeling Studio. This option appears only when the selected relationship has descendants.
Hide Element in Query Results	When this option is selected, a Hidden in Query Results indicator appears to the right of the selected TQL query node in the editing pane. Any query results pertaining to that TQL query node are not displayed in the topology map. This can be useful when certain relationships or TQL query nodes are required to build the query but are not needed in the results. At least one query node must be visible for the view to be valid. Note Only relevant for the Modeling Studio.
Hide Element in View Results	Hides the selected virtual-compound relationship when viewing the results of an Automated Service Map in the UCMDB Browser (based on the Service_template perspective being applied on top of the service's Business Element CI), as long as the CIs linked by the virtual-compound relationship are not linked by any other relationship. Note This option appears only when you are creating or editing the perspective on which a service model is based. Only relevant for the Modeling Studio. If the Hide Element in Query Results option is selected for a node, this option will not be available, since the node and all of its relationships will not appear.
Query Node/Relationship Properties	Displays the Query Node/Relationship Properties dialog box, enabling you to define the attribute conditions for the selected TQL query node/relationship. For details, see Query Node/Relationship Properties Dialog Box. Note This option is not available for calculated relationships.
Refine Query Node Type	Displays the Refine Query Node Type dialog box. Enables you to change the CI type of the query node after you have created it. For details, see Refine Query Node Type Dialog Box. Note This option only appears if a child of the CI type exists. Only relevant for Impact Analysis Manager and Enrichment Manager.
Remove Subgraph	Only appears if you have defined a subgraph definition. For details, see Subgraph Definition Dialog Box.
Reset Impacted	Removes the Define Impacted definition applied to that query node. For details on the Define Impacted definition, see Impacted Query Nodes Dialog Box. Note Only relevant for Impact Analysis Manager.
Reset Inner Relationship	Redraws a self-referential relationship in the Topology map as a square for ease of viewing. Note Only relevant for self-referential relationships that are not square.
Select All	Selects all query nodes and relationships in the TQL query. Note Only relevant for the Modeling Studio.
Set As Contact Query Node	Designates the selected query node as a contact query node for the perspective. Note Only relevant for perspectives in the Modeling Studio.
Set Integration Points	Opens the Select Integration Points dialog box which enables you to select the required data sources for a TQL query node. Note Only relevant for the Modeling Studio.
Show Element in Query Results	When this option is selected, the results pertaining to the TQL query node are displayed in the topology map. Note Only relevant for the Modeling Studio.
Show Element in View Results	Displays the selected virtual-compound relationship when viewing the results of an Automated Service Map in the UCMDB Browser (based on the Service_template perspective being applied on top of the service's Business Element CI). Note This option appears only when you are creating or editing the perspective on which a service model is based. Only relevant for the Modeling Studio. If the Show Element in Query Results option is selected for a node, this option will not be available, since the node and all of its relationships are already displayed.
Show Element instances	Displays the CI Instances dialog box which displays all the instances found for each query node in a table. For details, see CI Instances Dialog Box.
Show Node Parameters	Opens the Template Parameter Values dialog box, which enables you to set the values of the query node's parameters. Note Only relevant for template-based views in the Modeling Studio.
Subgraph Definition	Displays the Subgraph Definition dialog box, where you can create a graph that represents additional TQL query data related to a specific query node. For details, see Subgraph Definition Dialog Box.
Update Relationship/Query Node	Use an Enrichment rule to update the value of CI attributes in the RTSM, or to add data to attributes that currently do not have values. Opens the Query Node Definition - Attributes dialog box. For details, see Query Node/Relationship Definition Dialog Box. This is applicable for both regular and Enrichment query nodes. Updated query nodes are denoted by an updated indicator. Note Only relevant for Enrichment Manager.
