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 |

Enable data reference checking for a file
Applies to User Roles:
System Administrator
The Missing Reference Report utility can detect records in your database that contain missing references. However, to run this utility on a file, you must first update the data policy record of this file to enable data reference checking for the file. There are several ways of accessing a data policy record. The following steps use the Database Dictionary utility.
Note Data reference checking is enabled by default for the following files in the out-of-box system: assignment, dept, device, company, operator, location, and contacts.
To enable data reference checking for a file, follow these steps:
- In the Service Manager command line, type dbdict and press Enter.
- In the File Name field, enter the name of the file. For example, probsummary.
- Click Search. A list of records is displayed.
- Click probsummary in the list. The probsummary DBDICT record opens.
-
From the DBDICT record, click More or the More Actions icon, and select Data Policy.
The data policy record opens.
- Select the Enable Data Reference Check option.
-
Click Save.
By default, enabling data reference checking for a file will apply to all relationships of the file, no matter whether the file is a source file or target file in the relationships. However, you can choose to skip data reference checking for a specific relationship of this file. For details, see Skip data reference checking for a relationship.
Once you have enabled data reference checking for all desired files and specified the relationships that must be skipped for data reference checking, you are ready to run the Missing Reference Report utility against the files. See Run a data reference check against selected files.
