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 |
|

Restricting access to display options
As a system administrator, you may wish to restrict users’ access to certain display options based on their system rights. This is accomplished by creating an expression in a displayoption record that determines who may use the option. This expression is constructed with capability words found in a user’s operator record. You may use existing capability words or create new ones that more narrowly define the restrictions.
To restrict access to a display option, perform the following steps:
- Identify the option and the group to whom you want to deny access.
- Define a capability word unique to the option.
- Add your capability word to the operator records of all users to whom you wish to grant access to the option.
- Create a condition expression in the displayoption record using your new capability word.
