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 |

You can close a self-service request if you are no longer experiencing the problem or if you have another reason for closing the request. If you need to resubmit the request, you can do so from your list of closed self-service requests.
To close a self-service request, follow these steps:
-
Click View Open Requests. Service Desk displays a table of your open requests and the status of each request.
- Select the Service Desk interaction record that you want to close.
- Click Update, type an update description if necessary, and then click Close Request.
-
Select a reason to close the request, and then click Submit. The Service Desk interaction record is closed.
Note When you close your self-service request, an activity update is added to the corresponding back-end fulfillment records to reflect that you have closed the self-service request.
