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 |

Add a Validate against List rule
Applies to User Roles:

Implementer
This rule enables you to select a field to validate against a list of values. This list may be global or manually defined.
To add a Validate against List rule, follow these steps:
- In the System Navigator, click Tailoring > Process Designer > Rule Sets.
-
Click Search to open the Rule Set form, and then select the rule set to which you want to add the rule.
Note You can edit user-defined rule sets only. Out-of-box rule sets are labeled as Micro Focus Proprietary and cannot be modified.
- Click Add Rule to open the Select Rule Type page, and then click Validate against List.
- In the Rule Description field, type a description of your new rule.
-
Click Edit to add conditions to the rule.
Note If you do not specify a condition, the value defaults to Always.
- Select Pop-up or Screen to set the type of error message that is displayed during validation.
- In the Field to Validate drop-down list, select the field to validate.
- If you select Global List, select the global list from the drop-down list.
- If you select Manual List, type the manual list names in the Value table.
- Click OK to add the new rule to the rule set.
Note If the field value does not match a value in the specified list, the system displays a message and sets the cursor to that field when the rule is not followed.
