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 |

Update message records for activated or deactivated languages
If a language is made active, new message records do not get created for it. However, rather than having to create these records from scratch you can perform the following steps.
To update messages for activated languages:
- Access the data policy record for each localized table.
- Click More or the More Actions icon and then select Update for Active Languages.
This creates message records for every active language that do not already exist. - Ensure that the new messages are properly translated.
- Rebuild all applicable global lists to reflect the new changes.
Any languages that are deactivated or activated after launching the localization process are not automatically accounted for. If a language is made inactive, none of the corresponding message records are removed. The records are left in the system in case the language is reactivated in the future. Hence, they will need to be manually deleted if desired.
