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 |

Adding Service Level Targets to the SLA
SLAs generally have Service Level Targets (SLTs) associated with them. Service Manager includes two out-of-box wizards for adding SLTs: Response SLT and Availability SLT.
After creating an SLA by filling out the Service Level Agreement form, the user can then go to the SLA record and click the Add SLT buttons in the Response and Availability tabs to launch the out-of-box Add Response and Add Availability SLT wizards. The Create SLA wizard will call the out-of-box Add SLT wizards so that the user can go seamlessly from creating a new SLA to adding any SLTs related to it.
