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 |

Precedence rules for applying policies
By creating multiple patch policies and patch policy exceptions that are either directly attached to a server or attached to a group of servers, you control the patches that should be installed or not installed on a server. A precedence hierarchy in Patch Management delineates how a patch policy or a patch policy exception is applied to a patch installation. This hierarchy is based on whether the patch policy or patch policy exception is attached at the server or device group level.
The following precedence rules apply to policies and exceptions:
- Patch policy exceptions that are directly attached to a server always take precedence over patch policies that are directly attached to a device group.
- Patch policies that are directly attached to a server take precedence over patch policies and patch policy exceptions that are attached to a public device group.
- Patch policy exceptions that are attached to a public device group take precedence over patch policies that are attached to a public device group.
- If a server is in multiple public device groups, a Never Installed patch policy exception type always take precedence over an Always Installed patch policy exception type for the same patch.
