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 |

Asset Fields
The Scanner Generator provides several predefined standard field types that indicate to which hardware field the asset field is mapped.
-
The following table lists the special standard asset fields:
Note It is strongly recommended to include these fields in your list of asset fields.
Field Description Description Can be configured to contain a brief description of the machine being scanned.
Default: Combination type. It combines information from several hardware and asset fields.
When loading data from scans into the analysis tools (Analysis Workbench and Viewer), the contents of the Description field are displayed for each scan file to help identify it.
Asset Tag Contains a unique identifier for the machine being scanned. It is normally populated from a sequence of hardware fields such as MAC Address, Serial Number or Asset tag.
The asset number entered in this field is used to name the off-site scan file.
