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 |

Relate Two CIs by Using the Properties Widget
You can relate two CIs by using the Properties widget. For any selected CI, you can relate Owner CIs and Location CIs. To do this, follow these steps:
-
Make sure the Show Location Details and Show Owner Details options are set to true.
You can find these options in UCMDB UI > Administration > Infrastructure Settings Manager. The default values are true.
-
Go to the UCMDB Browser, select a CI, click PROPERTIES to expand the widget, and then switch to the edit mode.
-
Edit the corresponding fields to create relationships:
- To create a Membership relationship between the Locations and the selected CI, select one or more Locations.
- To create an Ownership relationship between the Owners and the selected CI, select one or more Owners (which are all Party CI Types).
Note If the selected CI is a Node, then, similar with Owner and Location, you will also be able to select IP Addresses. In this case, Containment relationships will be created between the selected CI and the entered IP Addresses.
- Click Save changes.
