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 |

Fast views
Note Note: Views are available in the Windows client only.
Fast views are hidden views that can quickly be made visible. They work the same as normal views, only when they are hidden they do not take up screen space on the Workbench window.
Once you have created a fast view, the icon for the view appears on the shortcut bar. You can look at the view by clicking its icon on the shortcut bar. As soon as you click somewhere else outside the view, it is hidden again.
To convert a fast view that has been maximized back to a regular sized view, select Restore from the context menu of the icon in the top left corner of the view. To reposition a fast view, drag the fast view’s title bar (or close the fast view and then drag its button from the shortcut bar) and drop it on the workbench like a normal view.
Create a fast view
Applies to User roles: All roles
There are two ways to create a fast view.
- Using drag and drop.
- Using a menu operation available from the view System menu.
Create a fast view using drag and drop as follows.
- Click the title bar of the view that you want and hold the mouse button down.
- Drag the view to the Fast View bar and release the mouse button. By default the shortcut bar is located in the lower left corner of the window.
To create a fast view using the second approach, click on the button located on the left side of the Fast View bar which presents you with a selection of views. Choose one of these views to add it to the Fast View bar immediately.
