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 |

Best Practices for Working with Configuration Manager
The following approach is recommended as a best practice for adopting the authorized state for applications that require high quality configuration data:
-
Begin by determining the data you need to consume. Define views accordingly and add these views to be managed in Configuration Manager.
-
Set automatic state transition conditions for those views to authorize all changes in the view. This essentially copies the configuration of the actual state to the authorized state.
-
Configure your applications to consume data from the authorized state of the views, rather than the actual state.
-
Gradually begin controlling the data in these views by applying policies, changing the automatic state transition rules, and manually authorizing changes. In this way, you can adopt the configuration authorization process while maintaining the ability to consume your data.
