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 |

Change the History Widget 'From Date'
The History Widget uses a beginning date and end date to show changes in CI data that occurred during the period defined by those two dates. The default end date is the current date and time and the default beginning date is the current end date minus the History Widget From Date setting that is set in UCMDB. The default value for the History Widget From Date setting is 7, but this value can be changed by the UCMDB Administrator as explained below.
To change the History Widget 'From Date':
- In UCMDB, go to Administration > Infrastructure Settings Manager > UCMDB Browser settings.
- In the Name column, choose History Widget From Date.
-
In the Value column, enter the number of days that you want for the From Date.
- Click Save .
- Log out from the UCMDB Browser, and then log in again (this loads the new setting).
