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 |

Access and localize message records
Once localization is enabled, message records for each active language are created for every existing record in the table. If English and French are enabled for your system, then English and French message records exist for every category record once the category table is marked for localization. These messages contain the following values:
- Class: local:<TABLE>, where <TABLE> refers to the name of the table.
- Message ID: <UNIQUE>, this refers to the values that make up the unique key of the record.
- Text: <LOCALIZED VALUE>, this refers to the value of the localized field. This is the value that needs to be modified to contain the correct translation.
To access and localize these message records:
- Access the table itself and bring up a record.
- Click More or the More Actions icon and then select View Localized Record Tags. This lists every message that corresponds to the record.
Note: The View Localized Record Tags action is available only for enabled tables that utilize the db.view displayscreen. To make this option available for a table that uses a different displayscreen, you need to create a similar displayoption record for that displayscreen.
- Drill into each message record and modify the Text field so that it contains the correct translation for the localized field.
- Repeat these steps for the remaining records in the table.
