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. |

Click the + (plus) sign next to a File to expand the tree.
All the instances of that file in the SAI are shown:
The following information is shown in the columns:
- The relation of the file to the application. This is indicated by the following icons:
- Main File
- Associated File
- Third Party File
- Filename—the name of the file.
- Size—the size of the file.
- Signature—the signature is a checksum of the first 8 Kilobytes of a file.
- Exe Type—the type of executable file (for example, Win32 exe, Linux x86 ELF, or SPARC ELF).
- ID—the unique identifier for the file entry. This column is only shown if the Show ID Column option was enabled in the SAI Editor Options dialog. See Setting Properties for the SAI Editor for more information.
- Publisher—the publisher of this file.
- Application—the application that this file belongs to.
- App Type—the type of the application (for example, Word Processor or Spreadsheet).
- Release—the software release that this file belongs to.
- Version—the software version that this file belongs to
- Language—the language of the application version that this file belongs to.
- OS —the operating system on which the application version that this file belongs to runs.
- Version Data—The combination of key version data fields of the file. It is automatically populated.
This is a key application file, that is, it is a file without which the application could not be running. It should always be present whenever the application is installed regardless of whether it is a minimum or complete installation.
This is a non-key file that is part of the application and is written by the publisher that developed the product.
This is a file written by another Publisher (3rd Party) and is used in the current application. An example of a 3rd party files is some DLL files that are technically used by the application, but are also distributed freely and can be used by other applications.

Only one option is available for the Files tab. This is the Properties option.
To edit the properties for a file:
- Expand the tree to select the instance of the file.
- Right-click the file to be edited, and select the Properties option.
- Size
- The size of the file
- Care about Size
- Relation to App
- Number of Occurrences
- Signature
- Exe File Type
- Version Data
- Click the OK button to complete the edit.
The File Properties box appears.
Edit the details as required.
When this option is enabled, the size of the file is used as a recognition criteria. When disabled, file size will not be used in recognition and N/A will be displayed in the size column.
Note Be careful when disabling this setting, especially for main files. If the setting is disabled, only the match on the file name is needed to produce a good file match – and if the file is main, simply the presence of the file in the scan file will cause the application to be recognized.
The Relation to App shows whether the file is a Main, Associated or 3rd Party file. See Viewing Information on the Files Tab for definitions of these terms.
Sets the number of occurrences of the file in the installation of the application. This option is only applicable to main files.It is useful in those cases where the same file that is chosen as main appears multiple times in the application’s installation. This is usually rare, so the default value of 1 is appropriate in most cases.For example, if the main file occurs twice in the same installation, set this value to two. If Report Multiple Installations of the Same Version setting of the SAI recognition options is enabled, it will cause only one installation of the application to be reported for every two occurrences of the main file.
Note The value range for Number of Occurrences in SAI Editor is 1-9.
The signature is a checksum of the first 8 Kilobytes of a file.
The type of executable file (for example, Win32 exe, Linux x86 ELF, or SPARC ELF).
The combination of key version data fields of the file. It is automatically populated and you are not recommended to modify it manually.
Once the details have been edited, the amended details are displayed in the tree.
