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 |

Bind a list to a form
Lists are bound to the forms they serve. The global variables are applied in Forms Designer.
- Click Tailoring > Forms Designer.
-
Type the name of the form you wish to modify in the Form field of the Forms Designer dialog box.
For example, type:
contact.detail.subform.This is the name of the subform used byproblem.template.open.g,problem.template.update.g, andproblem.template.close.gto display contact information. -
Click Search.
The contact detail subform opens.
- Click Design.
- Add a combo box with a label called Time Zones to the form, using the following values:
Field Value Input time.zones ValueList $G.time.zones DisplayList $G.time.zones -
Wait for lister to refresh the time.zones global list, or go to the list definition panel ( Tailoring > Tailoring Tools > Global Lists) and reset the refresh time.
Note: If you leave the DisplayList value blank, the contents of the ValueList will be used for both lists.
