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 |

Determine parameters without using the RAD Editor
Applies to User Roles:
System Administrator
You can determine the parameters for any application in Service Manager without using the RAD Editor. Use Database Manager to display the input value of each field in a particular application parameter panel. This value is the parameter name used in the Subroutines process of Format Control.
To determine parameters without using the RAD Editor:
- Click Tailoring > Database Manager.
- Type format in the Form field, and click Search.
- Click Format in the record list.
- Type the name of the application whose parameter values you want to view (for example, getnumb.fc) in the Format Name field of the blank Format form.
-
Click Search.
The parameter Name opens in the Input field of the form and the function appears in the Label field.
- Scroll down to view all the parameters listed.
- Click OK and exit this record without saving it.
