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 |
|

cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Incident integration: Service Level Management
Service Level Agreements (SLA), Operational Level Agreements (OLA), and Underpinning Contracts (UC) are created in the Service Manager Service Level Management module. Each SLA has multiple Service Level Targets (SLT), which can define required response or resolution timeframes associated with Incident records, or required uptime for CIs or services. When an Incident record is created, Service Manager applies the applicable SLA (based on the business unit for which the Incident is created, the CI that is the subject of the record, or other parameters) and populates response and resolution time SLT, as well as availability SLTs, in the Incident record.
This information can be used to prioritize record resolution, and Service Manager displays upcoming SLT deadlines, escalations, and alerts in the Incident record.
