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 |

Creating localized codes-based global lists
To define a global list for a set of codes, the global list definition must contain the following values:
- List Field: value
- Filename: codes
- Limiting SQL: type="<TYPE>", where <TYPE> refers to the type of codes you wish to localize.
In addition, you must:
- Check the Use Localized Values? check box.
- Ensure the List Variable and Display Variable fields are set to different variable names.
- Wait for the lister process to build the list.
Example: use the following inputs for Global List Definition:Boolean Values to create a localized list of Boolean Values.
Note: that the example references records that were created in the example found in Defining a set of values for a codes-based global list.
| Field Label | Value |
|---|---|
| List Name | Boolean Values |
| Build List on Startup? | checked |
| List Variable | $G.booleans |
| Display Variable | $G.booleans.local |
| Limiting SQL | type="Boolean" |
| Use Localized Values? | checked |
