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 |

Create an alias in probsummary table for link
In the work order example, users need to be able to access a work order from an incident record when the incident has a work order associated with it. In order to do this, you must create an alias in the probsummary table and then use that alias to create a link between the probsummary table and the EXWorkOrder table.
To add an alias to the probsummary table, follow these steps:
- From the System Navigator, click Tailoring > Database Dictionary to open the Database Dictionary form.
- Type probsummary in the File Name field.
- Click Search.
- On the Fields tab, select the number field and click Edit Field/Key.
- Click Create Alias and type number.WO.vj for name and character for type.
- Click OK.
To link the EXWorkOrder table with the probsummary table, follow these steps:
- From the System Navigator, click Tailoring > Tailoring Tools > Links to open the Link File form.
- Type probsummary in the Name field.
- Click Search.
- Click after the last entry to create a blank line for a new entry.
- In the Source field, type number.WO.vj.
- Select the entire new line and then click Select Line.
-
Enter the following information:
Field Value Field (From/Source) number.WO.vj File (To/Target) EXWorkOrder Field (To/Target) RelatedID Query $query Expressions $query="RelatedID=\""+number in $File+"\"" - Click Save and then Back.
- Repeat steps to create a link line for the ID field.
-
Enter the following information.
Field Value Field (From/Source) ID File (To/Target) EXWorkOrder Field (To/Target) ID Query $query Expression $query="ID=\""+nullsub(cursor.field.contents(), "xxx")+"\"" - Click Save and then Back.
