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 |

Data Modification Event
If a change modifies a CI's attributes through the Set Expected States wizard, the modification history is stored in the dataModEvent table and presented on the Data Modification Event page.
The following example demonstrates how the dataModEvent table works:
-
Create a standard change and select Adobe Reader in the Affected CI field.
-
In the Change record, click More > Set Expected States to plan the following attribute change: Secuity Classification: 2. Restricted.
-
Go to Tailoring > Web Services > Data Modification Event, and then click Search. A record is displayed, showing the planned CI attribute change.
-
Go to the CI record Adobe Reader, and update the Security Classification field to value "2".
-
Go to the Associated CIs tab in the change, click Security Classification and update the status to Implemented and then Validated.
-
Click Close in the change record to close the change. Note that the change cannot be closed unless the CI attribute change is implemented and then validated.
-
Go to Data Modificateion Event, and then click Search. The record status is updated to Processed.
