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 localized global lists
The record tag localization utility makes it possible to localize a query-based list. You can use this utility to localize lists that are defined by a query.
To localize a query-based global list:
Note:You must log out and then log back in for the global list change to take affect.
- Create or access an existing global list record that is based on the Limiting SQL field.
- Check Use Localized Values?.
- Ensure that List Variable and Display Variable are set to different variable names.
- Save your changes.
- Wait for the lister process to build the list.
Example: use the following inputs for Global List Definition:categories.active to return a list of all active categories.
| Field Label | Value |
|---|---|
| List Name | categories.active |
| Build List on Startup? | checked |
| List Variable | $G.categories.active |
| Display Variable | $G.categories.active.local |
| Limiting SQL | active=true or active=NULL |
| Use Localized Values? | checked |
After the list is built, the localized lists for all active languages display in the table under the Value List field on the Global List Definition form.
These lists are based on the contents of the message records that were updated in Accessing localizing message records (Accessing and localizing message records for a codes-based global list). The display variable will be bound to the display list for the language associated with the user session.
