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.
Words and Phrases
| 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. |
Using Boolean Operators
| 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 |

Reopen a request record
Security Role: Request Coordinator
From the Closure phase in the Request workflow, if you have the "Reopen" right in the "Request" area, you can click the Reopen button to reopen the closed request. After you click Reopen, the request is moved back to the Review phase.
To reopen a request, follow these steps:
- In the System Navigator, click Request Fulfillment > Request Queue or Search Requests.
-
Locate and open the request record in the Closure phase that you want to reopen.
- Click Reopen. The request is now moved back to the Review phase. When the request is re-opened, the original tasks will not be re-activated.
