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) |

Knowledge Management: User Demand
Description
The Knowledge Management: User Demand report breaks down Knowledge Management (KM) documents by source and then by their usage. This report contains a graphical representation of the breakdown of documents using a bar graph to display the number of documents viewed and the number of documents used as a solution per source. You can double-click any bar of the chart to display the detailed usage counts within a source by document ID.
Customer Value
This report provides a quick view of documents within a source that were viewed or used as a solution. This information can be used by a KM administrator to evaluate the content of the KM documents. An administrator can view the detailed information for a particular document within a source and see the total times a document was viewed compared to the total times the document was used as a solution. If the document was viewed several times but not used as a solution this might indicate that the content of the document needs to be updated. An administrator may also determine that the document is invalid and should be retired or that the title and keywords need to be updated in order to better facilitate user searches.
