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 |

Components of the graph
The graph diagram provides a comprehensive visualization solution that enables the ability to easily visualize relationships between different components. An extensive library of graphics display the relationship in a variety of views. You can customize the views to fit your organization, including using your own graphics for display. You can view, add, or update relationships using the graphical interface. The main components of the graph diagram are:
- Graph
-
A mathematical structure used to model relationships between objects from a certain collection.
- Node
-
Representation of an entity. Nodes are defined by an ID and at a minimum require that either a bounding shape or an icon be defined so they are visible in the graph. Nodes can be joined by an edge (which also has an ID) by specifying the IDs of the joined nodes as the "to" and "from" attribute values of the node edge. Line styles and colors are optional.
- Edge
-
Represents a relationship between two nodes. An edge is usually depicted as a line connecting its end nodes. An arrowhead at the target end of the line indicates the destination of a directed edge.
