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 |

Management reports generation
HPE Service Manager includes two options for generating management reports using key performance indicators: Service Manager Dashboard queries and charts, Reporting, and Service Manager Crystal Reports. These tools allow you to generate predefined and ad hoc reports to display any information. The following describes these tools.
Service Manager Reports
The Service Manager Reports module provides reports and dashboards to enable faster analysis and improved time to resolution. These reports organize data into various chart formats, and the dashboards display one or more reports to provide global information about critical activities or metrics. These reports display relationships among categories of data. For example, one report might display the number of incidents per customer, while another displays the number of incidents by priority. Viewing these reports together as a dashboard enables you to make better business decisions, such as assigning resources to close incidents. Report Managers can share a report or dashboard.
The Service Manager Reports module aims to provide a lightweight reporting feature for active operational data, and the reports are therefore designed to retrieve, represent and visualize up to 100,000 active records out of millions. To define analytical reports against the entire data set, you need to use a third-party business intelligence tool.
Service Manager Crystal Reports
For operational reporting or regularly scheduled reporting requirements, HPE provides an OEM version of Crystal Reports with Service Manager. HPE also delivers over 40 predefined reports. You can run reports on an ad hoc basis and system administrators can define an automatic report-generation schedule using the Service Manager Report Scheduler tool. Crystal Reports 2008 is required to view, generate, or modify these reports and is included with Service Manager.
