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 |

Define a department requestor for subscriptions
Applies to User roles: System Administrator
You can grant specific users the right to request subscriptions for their department. Only these users can add new subscriptions for the department, but all users in the department can view the subscribed records.
To define a department requestor for subscriptions, follow these steps:
- Click System Administration > Base System Configuration > Departments.
- Use search or advanced search to find one or more records.
- Open the Department Data record for the department name that requires a requestor definition.
- In the Department Requestors field, type the names of the users who are allowed to request services for the department.
- Click Save.
