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 |

Field comparisons
Field comparisons use a statement to create a conditional property for a control on a form.
Syntax: FIELD OPERATOR VALUE
- FIELD is any variable or field name surrounded by brackets, for example,
[$x], [name],and so forth. - OPERATOR can be
=,>,<,<>, or#. - VALUE is any quoted string or number.
Note: Field comparisons can also use complex conditions or statements to create a conditional property for a control on a form. You can use | or & to concatenate multiple expressions. For example: [$L.one.click]<>true &[$quantity]>1&[$orderonbehalf.marker]<>true.
Important: In order for a property to depend on a variable (or record field), the variable must be assigned as an input to an object on the same screen. For examples, see Use form dep.g to demonstrate Dynamic View Dependencies.
