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 |

Reassignment alert groups
Each time a user reassigns an incident, Incident Management updates that incident. When an update occurs, there is no escalation triggered, even if there is no progress to resolve the incident. Therefore, it is possible to reassign an incident without resolving it. Incident Management enables you to set a threshold limit on the number of times an incident can be reassigned in the category record. When this threshold is reached, Incident Management notifies the Reassignment Alert group.
When an incident is reassigned, the assignment profile context changes. If an incident is reassigned to an assignment group on Alert Stage 2, the reassignment on Alert Stage 3 depends on the assignment profile definition of the group that received the incident in the previous escalation.
