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 |

Applies to User Roles:
Problem Coordinator
The problem investigation and diagnosis process in Problem Management is aimed at identifying the root cause of a problem. After the Problem Coordinator determines the required skills and resources needed to investigate a problem, the Problem Coordinator creates a task and assigns it to a Problem Analyst who meets the requirements. If there are multiple configuration items (CIs) involved in the problem, the Problem Coordinator should create a separate task for each CI. This allows the Problem Coordinator to assign different specialists or external resources to investigate the problem.
To assign a Problem Management task, follow these steps:
- Click Problem Management > Search Problem Tasks.
- Use search or advanced search to find one or more records.
-
Select the target record.
- Add the following information to the task:
- Due Date
- Assignment Group
- Assignee
- Click Save & Exit. Service Manager updates task records with related record information as updates occur.
