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 |

Access display records
Applies to User Roles:
System Administrator
The Display application reads data from the following data files:
| File name | Description |
|---|---|
| displaymaster | The displaymaster file contains the general controls for Display. There is one record per supported language. The default is ENG for English. |
| displayscreen |
A displayscreen record defines the attributes of a screen and provides the user with access to the individual records for options and events. Use the vertical scroll bar to view the entire form. All Service Manager applications using rio or fdisp panels have been converted with the display.cv utility before being shipped to you. The displayscreen records have been created and hard-coded into RAD applications, which search for the applicable Screen ID when called. RAD programmers who write custom applications for their enterprise will need to create new displayscreen records. Non-RAD licensee's can add display screens to support specific scripts because the display screen name is specified within the script record and is not hard coded in RAD. The existing displayscreen records are powerful tools for controlling the display attributes of certain forms within your system. Knowing which Screen ID is attached to a form is vital if you are to take full advantage of the features offered by the Display application. |
| displayoption |
Set the various display options in the displayoption file. Display options can appear in the More Actions menu, as buttons in the toolbar, and as F–keys. RAD applications can be called from Options Definition records. Access the Options Definition record from any displayscreen record:
|
| displayevent | The displayevent file defines the events a screen will handle. Access the form by clicking an Event button in a displayscreen record. |
To access display records:
- Click Tailoring > Database Manager.
- Type
displayin the Form field of the Database Manager form. - Click Search. A record list of data file records opens.
- To configure the Display application, open the displaymaster file first. Or select another file from the record list, and double–click the name to open it.
