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 |

View Summary Overview
The View Summary provides a general summary of all of the managed views, displaying authorization level, policy status, the date and time of the last authorization, and the automatic state transition status. It serves as a portal for accessing the managed views by drilling down to the Review/Authorize module. You can also export the View Summary data in a report format.
The policy status information enables you to track the views' levels of adherence to policies, both in the actual and in the authorized state. For views with policy breaches, you can drill into the view to see the details (the breaching CIs and policies). Note that external policies are not included in the authorized state statistics, and therefore if you drill down to see the details of external policies that contain CIs in the authorized state, only actual state data is displayed.
Note that you cannot drill down to see the details of external policies that contain CIs in the authorized state.
The automatic state transition information enables you to track the views' levels of authorization. It indicates whether a view is state-managed manually or automatically. You can quickly identify the views that require authorization and drill into those views to take the appropriate action.
Additionally, the View Summary enables you to track when the view was last authorized, by whom, and how many changes where authorized. You can drill down to view the last authorization in detail. It clearly indicates the number of related RFCs that are relevant to the pending authorizations.
Note The View Summary displays only views for which you have View or Authorize in CM permission.
