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 |

Create a Web Service Field to Support the CI Attribute
UCMDB uses the Service Manager ucmdbIntegration web service to retrieve CI data from Service Manager. This web service publishes the objects that match the out-of-the-box CI types and CI attributes provided by the UCMDB integration.
If you want to populate an additional CI attribute from Service Manager to your Universal CMDB system, you must create a corresponding web service field on your Service Manager system to provide the CI data from Service Manager. Each web service field must map to a valid Service Manager table and column.
For the steps of creating a web service field, see How to Create a Web Service Field to Support the CI Attribute.
