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.
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. |
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 |

Configuration Identification (process ST 3.2)
In the Configuration Identification process, the Configuration Administrator selects Configuration Items (CIs), records their identifying characteristics, and assigns unique identifiers to the selected items. This process helps to ensure efficient data storage and retrieval.
Configuration Identification process is enables you to do the following:
- Identify and register CIs
- Assign unique labels
- Record relationship information
Configuration Identification is responsible for collecting information about CIs and their relationships, and for loading this information into Configuration Management. Configuration Identification is also responsible for labeling the CIs, which enables the corresponding configuration records to be found.
Details for this process can be seen in the following figure and table.
