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.

Trigger Query Editor Window

Enables you to edit a TQL query that has been defined to trigger jobs.

To access	Select Data Flow Management > Universal Discovery > Discovery Modules/Jobs tab > Properties tab > Trigger Queries pane > a TQL query, and click the Open the Query Editor button.
Important Information	A Trigger query associated with a job is a subset of the Input query, and defines which specific CIs should be the Trigger CIs for a job. That is, if an Input query queries for IPs running SNMP, a Trigger query queries for IPs running SNMP in the range 195.0.0.0-195.0.0.10.

User interface elements are described below:

UI Element (A-Z)	Description
Attributes	Displays the attribute conditions defined for the node or the relationship. For details, see Attributes Tab.
Cardinality	Cardinality defines how many nodes you expect to have at the other end of a relationship. For example, in a relationship between host and IP, if the cardinality is 1:3, the query retrieves only those hosts that are connected to between one and three IPs. For details, see Cardinality Tab.
Details	CI Type. The CIT of the selected node/relationship. Visible. A tick signifies that the selected node or relationship is visible in the topology map. When the node/relationship is not visible, a box is displayed to the right of the selected node/relationship in the Editing pane: Include subtypes. Display both the selected CI and its descendants in the topology map.
Edit button	To view information, select a node or relationship in the Editing pane, select the tab in the Information pane, and click the Edit button. For details on the Node Condition dialog box, see Query Node/Relationship Properties Dialog Box.
