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 |

Discovery Event Manager managed fields
Managed fields are key fields in the Service Manager configuration item (CI) record types that the Discovery Event Manager tool uses to validate the incoming CI records from Web services. By default, the fields of the incoming CI records should match the key fields in the Service Manager CI records.
If Discovery Event Manager discovers any discrepancies between the actual state of the incoming CI record fields and the Service Manager managed fields, these discrepancies are handled by Change Management by default. Rules define what to do with a CI record to make it compliant with the CI record types in Service Manager.
