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 Field Configuration Dialog Box
Enables you configure asset fields to collect during scanning.
To access |
Select Scanner Generator wizard > Asset Data page > Asset Data tab > asset field in the list, and click Edit Field . |
Important information | The asset data fields are automatically populated. The data is either calculated or derived. The data can be extracted from text files, the Windows registry, environment variables and WMI fields. All data entry fields can be given a default value. |
User interface elements are described below:
UI Element | Description |
---|---|
Opens the Asset Field Extract Options dialog box, enabling you to set up calculated asset fields so that only part of the string is selected instead of the entire string. They can also be set up, for example, to use the last part rather than the first part of the string. This can be useful for obtaining the last part of a calculated field that is too long.
Available for: Calculated fields only. Note This button is not available for user-defined fields. |
|
Caption | The display name for the asset field. The caption is displayed in the Inventory Tools. |
Field | The name of the asset field. Click the Choose button to select a field type. For a list of the available asset fields, see Asset Fields. |
Max Width | The maximum number of characters for the asset field. |
Field Data Type > Calculated Fields |
Calculated fields can be automatically populated from data extracted from text files, the Windows registry, environment variables and so on.
|
Field Data Type > Derived Fields |
Derived fields have dependencies on the data of other types of fields. That is, the data they contain is derived from other fields.
|
Field Parameters | Enables you to configure parameters for the field type selected. For details about the parameters for each field type, see Asset Field Parameters. |
