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 |

Cigroup table
The cigroup table consists of all information used to define items in a CI group and a list of items included in the group. There is one record for each CI group defined.
Characteristics of the cigroup table:
- Contains the group name.
- The logical.name field is the unique identifier in the dbdict for the cigroup table.
- For list-based groups, contains a list of members.
- Baseline groups and Query-based groups are dynamic and therefore do not contain members.
- Specifies a group type, such as a query-based group, a list-based group, or a baseline group.
- If the group is a baseline group, it contains the baseline version and state. This does not apply to list-based or query-based groups.
Note When setting thresholds for baseline group versioning, make sure that you set an appropriate number of versioning levels to grow with your environment. If you later need more version levels than specified at setup, you can increase the number of levels without recreating entire groups and relationships.
