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	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`

Pattern View Editor

This feature enables you to build and edit pattern views, templates, and perspectives.

To access	To open a new view in the Pattern View Editor, go to the Modeling Studio, click the New button and select the required type of view. To open an existing view in the Pattern View Editor, go to the Resources tab of the left pane in the Modeling Studio and select Views as the Resource type. Right-click a view in the tree and select Open View or double click a view or drag a view onto the Editor pane. The topology map of the view opens in the Editor pane.
Important information	You can access the Editor in one of the following modes: In View mode, the following panes are included: Query Definition pane. For details, see TQL Query Editor. Advanced pane. For details, see "Advanced Pane" on page 1. Hierarchy pane. Enables you to set the hierarchy of the view. (Located in the right portion of the Editor page.) In Report mode, the following panes are included: Hierarchy pane. Enables you to set the hierarchy of the view. (Located in the left portion of the Editor page.) Query Node Definition. Enables you to select the attributes to be included in the report and to set their order. In Widget mode, the following panes are included: Hierarchy pane. Enables you to set the hierarchy of the view. (Located in the left portion of the Editor page.) Widget Node Definition. Enables you to specify options for the CI's attributes to be included in the dynamic widget. Note Widget mode is available only when creating or editing a dynamic widget. Note To save your view, template, perspective, or dynamic widget, use the Save button on the Modeling Studio main toolbar.

Hierarchy Pane

User interface elements are described below (unlabeled elements are shown in angle brackets):

UI Element (A-Z)	Description
	Add Group By. Enables you to create a subgroup in the hierarchy. The following options are available: Add Group By Attribute. Opens the Query Node Grouping dialog box, which enables you to select an attribute for a subgroup in the hierarchy. Add Group By CI Type. Create a subgroup in the hierarchy for the CI type of the selected query node. Add Group by View Node. Create a subgroup in the hierarchy for the selected query node only. Note You cannot define subgroups on a contact query node of a perspective.
	Edit Group By Attribute. Opens the Query Node Grouping dialog box, which enables you to edit the attribute for a subgroup in the hierarchy.
	Rename. Enables you to rename the selected query node.
	Delete View Node Deletes the selected query node from the hierarchy tree.
	Move View Node Layer Up. Moves the selected query node one layer higher in the hierarchy.
	Move View Node Layer Down. Moves the selected query node under the query node above it in the hierarchy. Note If the selected query node is located at the top of the hierarchy tree, clicking Move View Node Layer Down places it under the query node beneath it in the hierarchy.
	Move View Node Up. Moves the selected query node up in the hierarchy tree. The query node order in the hierarchy determines the query node order in the report generated for the view in Reports.
	Move View Node Down. Moves the selected query node down in the hierarchy tree. The query node order in the hierarchy determines the query node order in the report generated for the view in Reports.
	Preview. Displays a preview of the topology report. Note This option only appears in the Hierarchy pane when Report mode is selected.
	Report Properties. Opens the Report Properties dialog box, which enables you to set the title, subtitle, and format for the view's topology report. For details, see Report Properties Dialog Box.
<Hierarchy tree>	The query nodes of the TQL query are arranged in a hierarchical tree reflecting the hierarchy defined for the view. You can click and drag query nodes to change the hierarchy. When you click a query node and begin to drag it, the query nodes under which it is possible to place your query node are highlighted in green.
Hierarchy Method	Select the method of setting the hierarchy: Manual. Set the hierarchy manually, by dragging query nodes and using the toolbar buttons. Rule Based. Open the Hierarchy Rules dialog box which enables you to set rules for the hierarchy.

Shortcut Menu

The Hierarchy pane includes the following elements (listed alphabetically) available by right-clicking a query node in the hierarchy tree:

Menu Item	Description
Add Group By Attribute	Select Add Group By Attribute to open the Query Node Grouping dialog box, which enables you to select an attribute for a subgroup in the hierarchy.
Add Group By CI Type	Select Add Group By CI Type to create a subgroup in the hierarchy for the CI type of the selected query node.
Add Group By View Node	Select Add Group By View Node to create a subgroup in the hierarchy for the selected query node only.
Define Cycles	Select Define Cycles to define a cyclical hierarchy. For details, see Cycle Definition Dialog Box.
Delete View Node	Select to delete the selected query node from the hierarchy tree.
Move View Node Down	Select to move the selected query node down in the hierarchy tree.
Move View Node Layer Down	Select Move View Node Layer Down to place the selected query node under the query node above it in the hierarchy. Note If the selected query node is located at the top of the hierarchy tree, selecting Move View Node Layer Down places it under the query node beneath it in the hierarchy
Move View Node Layer Up	Select Move View Node Layer Up to place the selected query node one layer higher in the hierarchy.
Move View Node Up	Select to move the selected query node up in the hierarchy tree.
Rename	Select to rename the selected query node.
Set View Node Invisible	Select to set the selected query node invisible. CIs of this type do not appear in the view results. When this option is selected, a Hidden in Query Results indicator appears in the corner of the selected query node in the hierarchy tree.
Set View Node Visible	Select to set the selected query node visible. CIs of this type appear in the view results.
Subgraph Hierarchy	Enables you to define whether the subgraph defined for the selected query node is displayed as flat or as folded under the query node. Note This option is only relevant for query nodes that have a defined subgraph.

Query Node Definition Pane

Important information

The Query Node Definition pane is disabled for template based views. To make changes to the report layout, edit the based template of the view. When you open a template based view in the Editor and select the Report tab, a warning message appears containing a link to the base template of the view.

User interface elements are described below:

UI Element (A-Z)	Description
