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 |

Submit a time period for approval
Once you have finalized a time period definition, you can submit it for approval. By default each time period will go through the time period approvals defined in the Timeperiod approval definition, which is a global definition that takes effect on all time periods. Your administrator can create their own approval definitions and associate them to different time period categories.
To submit a time period for approval, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Time Period Management > Search Time Periods, and open the time period by performing a search.
-
Click Submit for Approval.
The time period moves to the approval phase, and its Approval Status changes to pending.
The Approvals section now lists all currently required approvals. Once an approval is completed, the approval activity will be displayed in the Approval Log.
