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 |

Create a data record for sorting simple arrays
Applies to User Roles:
System Administrator
Once you have created the form and Format Control for sorting simple arrays, you are ready to create the data record for sorting simple arrays.
To create a data record for sorting simple arrays:
- Click Tailoring > Database Manager.
- Type demo.sort in the Form field of the Database Manager dialogue box.
- Click Search.
- Type sort1 in the Name field of your test form.
- Enter data in the arrays in random order. For example, numbers in the Numbers array and characters in the Characters array.
-
Click Add to add the record to the database and sort the array.
Note: Since Update evaluates to true in the Format Control record for this form, you may also sort an array by clicking Save.
The Numbers array is sorted in descending order.
- Repeat the process for the other arrays by changing the name parameter in the Format Control record to reflect the array being sorted.
- Remove the boolean1 parameter, and the sort order defaults to true. The array is sorted in ascending order.
