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 |

Set Automatic State Transition Rules for a View
This task describes how to set automatic state transition rules for a view.
-
In the Views module, select a view in the left pane and select the Enable automatic state transition check box in the Automatic State Transition pane. For details, see Automatic State Transition.
-
Select either View level or CI level authorization.
-
In the criteria table, configure the following options:
-
Click CI Types to open a CI type tree. Select the required CI types approved for authorization of changes.
-
Click Configuration Policies and select the required option (Allow new policy breaches in the view or Do not allow new policy breaches in the view).
-
Click Detected Change Type and select the types of changes approved for authorization.
-
-
Click Test Configuration to determine if the view contains CIs with changes that match the conditions set for authorization.
-
If all changes satisfy all automatic state transition rules, the status of the test is Passed.
-
If some or all of the changes do not satisfy the automatic state transition rules, the status of the test is Unsatisfied.
-
-
Click OK to return to the Views window, where you can either click Save to save the conditions, or edit the authorization rules and test them again.
The automatic state transition rules are now set. When you run automatic state transition, the changes in the view matching the conditions you set are authorized. For details, see Authorize Changes to CIs.
Note Automatic state transition is executed on all views for which automatic state transition is enabled.
