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 |

Discovery Event Manager change open process
You can use the Discovery Event Manager tool to automate the change open process.
When a change is needed to address issues for review or tasks to be performed, the change open process begins. The change goes through phases that drive the unplanned change through the necessary tasks to update the managed fields of a CI or to determine if the change is necessary or desired.
The change phases are as follows:
Discovery Assessment phase: Assess whether or not an unplanned change is allowed. Comments can be added and updated in this phase, as needed. The CCB Approver must confirm that the change is desired.
- If the change is approved, update the managed field and close the change.
- If the change is denied, move it to the Discovery Backout phase to undo the change.
Discovery Backout phase: Back out a change after determining that the change is not necessary or desired. Comments can be added and updated in this phase, as needed, including updates to modified data. If the backout of the change is complete, move it to the Discovery Verification phase.
- If the denied change is verified, close the change.
- If the denied change is not verified, return to the Discovery Backout phase.
Discovery Implementation phase: The change requires further consideration before it is closed.
- If the backout of the change fails verification, return to the Discovery Implementation phase for further consideration.
- If verification of the change succeeds, close the change.
Discovery Verification phase: Verify that the change is successfully implemented.
- If verification of the change fails, return to the Discovery Implementation phase.
- If verification of the change succeeds, close the change.
