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 |

Approve a time period
If you are the approver or a member of the approval group, or a delegate of a time period approval, you receive a notification when a time period is pending your approval. You can then complete your approval. Once all approvals of the time period are complete, the time period automatically advances to the published phase, and the approval status changes from pending to approved. If a time period is denied during an approval, it needs to be resubmitted for approval.
Note You can Deny a pending approval or Retract a completed approval.
If you are the approver or a member of the approval group, follow these steps to approve or reject a time period:
- Navigate to Time Period Management > Search Time Periods, to open the time period record.
- In the Approvals section, click the Timeperiod approval in the Currently Approvals subsection.
-
Put the cursor in your approval, click More > Approval > Approve/Deny to approve or reject the record.
Note If you are not the approver, but have approval override rights, you can also approve by clicking More > Override > Approve Current.
-
To approve, click Approve.
Note If you want to redo your approval, click Retract.
- To reject, click Deny.
-
-
Enter your approval comments, and click OK.
If denied, the time period then returns to the planning phase, and its approval status becomes denied.
If there are still pending approvals, the time period remains in the approval phase with an approval status of pending; otherwise, it advances to the published phase with an approval status of approved.
If you are a delegate, follow these steps to approve or reject a time period:
- In the To Do Queue, select Approval Delegation from the Queue list, and Active approval delegations assigned to me from the View list.
- Click the approval for the time period.
- Click Approve or Deny.
