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 |

Custom attributes for policies
You can set custom attributes for servers by using software policies. The custom attributes include miscellaneous parameters and named data values. You can write scripts that use these parameters and data values when you perform a variety of functions, including network and server configuration, notifications, and CRON script configurations.
You can set custom attributes for software policies or for servers or device groups directly. When you set a custom attributes for a software policy, the custom attributes and values affect all the servers attached to the policy. When a policy containing sub-policies is attached to a server, all the custom attributes and values from the parent policy and the included sub-policies are added to the server.
Setting custom attributes to servers or device groups directly allows you to override the attributes and values set by a software policy. For example, if a certain port is required for installing an application, you can set it as a custom attribute in a software policy. When you attach the policy to multiple servers, the attribute is added to those servers. If required, you can change the port settings of a particular server attached to the software policy, without changing the port settings of all the other servers attached to the software policy. You can achieve this by setting the custom attribute on the server directly. As a result, the custom attribute value set on the server directly supersedes the value set by the policy for that server.
See Add custom attributes to a software policy for more information.
