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 |

Applies to User Roles:

As inventory changes within your organization, you will need to add new configuration item (CI) types, or possibly update or delete others, to keep your inventory records up-to-date for the Discovery Event Manager tool. You can manage the CI types in the CI record type table.
To add a configuration item in Discovery Event Manager:
- Click Tailoring > Web Services > Discovered Event Manager Rules. The Discovery Event Manager form opens.
- Click New.
- Enter the name of the new CI record type.
- Select a table from the table list, and then click Next.
-
Enter the Condition for the CI record type. The CI record type is added to the records table.
- The condition must ensure that only one rule is applied when the web service request is processed.
- An empty condition evaluates to true by default.
- Click Save.
- Click OK.
