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) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Deactivate a time period rule
By default, time period rules are active when created. If a time period rule no longer works for you, you can permanently remove it from the time period, or you can temporarily deactivate it. You can do so only when the time period is in the first phase of the workflow.
To deactivate a time period rule, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Time Period Management > Search Time Periods, and then open the time period record that contains the rule.
-
In the Rules section, click the rule and then deselect the Active option.
Note : If the time period was approved and back to the first phase, the existing rules are read-only, and you should click the Deactivate Rule button instead.
-
Click Save to save the rule, and then click Save & Exit.
In the Occurrences section of the time period, all future occurrences based on this inactive rule are now removed.
