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 contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Financial Approval
The Service Catalog module supports routing end-user Service Catalog requests for required financial approvals.
The approval rules are defined in the Service Catalog. Some approval rules are defined globally and apply to all Service Catalog requests that match the required conditions (approvals can trigger based on the total price of the Service Catalog request). Other approval rules are directly attached to catalog items, and provide additional control in the service provisioning.
The requesters are able to review the progress of the approval process at any time by looking at their open Service Catalog requests in the web interface.
Moreover, approval routing can also be performed in other Service Manager modules used to fulfill requests. For example, the Service Manager
