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 |

Resubmit a self-service request
Applies to User Roles:
User
If you disagree with a proposed solution to a closed request, you can resubmit the request and provide a reason why the resolution is unsatisfactory. When you resubmit a closed interaction record, Service Manager assigns you a new interaction identification number to track the request.
To resubmit a self-service request, follow these steps:
- Click View Closed Requests.
- Select the Service Desk interaction record that you want to resubmit.
-
Click Resubmit. Service Desk creates a new interaction record with a different identification number. However, the new record displays the same field information as the original Service Desk interaction record.
- Type the reason why you are resubmitting the request.
- Click Save & Exit.
