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 |

Fill functionality with multi-select
The Fill Selected option is available from record lists resulting from a fill on an array field. When one or more records from a list are selected, the user can choose the Fill Selected option to fill the array with only the selected records.
- A multi-select fill will not overwrite the existing content of an array. The records selected will be inserted into the array from the element where the fill was initiated.
- The multi-select capability for a record list is determined by the field that the fill is being performed from.
- If the field is a scalar the capability is disabled.
- If the field is an array the capability is enabled.
- The multi-select functionality is not enabled in system-generated record lists. The System Administrator needs to create a form with a table for the capability to be available.
- When a Fill All or Fill Selected is performed, a message indicating how many records were filled displays in the message area.
- The post expressions defined in a link line are executed as each record is filled into an array when performing a Fill All or Fill Selected.
