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 |

How to Build a New Pattern-based Model
-
Define the New Model
You define a new pattern-based model using the Pattern-based Model wizard. Click New and select Pattern Based Model.
Note You cannot create a pattern-based model with an already existing name.
-
Enter the Model Details
On the first wizard page, select New Model. Then select a CI type for the model and enter the properties. For details, see Select CI Type Page.
-
Select a TQL Query
On the next wizard page, select a TQL query for the model. You can create a new TQL query or select an existing query from the tree. The TQL Query Editor opens with the selected query. For details, see Query Selection Page.
-
Add Query Nodes and Relationships to a TQL Query
Add the query nodes and relationships that define the query. For details on how to add query nodes and relationships to a TQL query, see How to Add Query Nodes and Relationships to a TQL Query.
-
Set Output Query Nodes
Select one or more query nodes in the TQL query to serve as output for the model by right-clicking them and selecting Add to Model Output. The query node is indicated by a small icon next to it.
-
Save the Model
When you are finished, save the model with a unique name. If you created a new TQL query, the query is also saved independently of the model and can be re-used as a regular TQL query.
