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 |
|

Discovery Event Manager rules
Discovery Event Manager processing is governed by rules that define what actions Discovery Event Manager will perform when the actual state of an incoming configuration item (CI) record differs from the managed state of a CI record in Service Manager.
During initial configuration of Discovery Event Manager, you start with a basic set of rules for Change Management. You can refine those rules as necessary. Each rule identifies a series of checks that Discovery Event Manager processes whenever a CI record is received from Web services. Depending on the rule, Discovery Event Manager may add or delete the record, open a change, log the information, or update the record's status.
Service Manager opens a change or incident based on the settings defined in the populateChange or populateIncident function in the discoveryEvent ScriptLibrary record. You can override the default settings by writing a custom JavaScript on the Change Customization or Incident Customization tab.
