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.
Words and Phrases
| 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. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|

Two or more words in the same topic |

Access a Service Model Using a Direct Link
As a user, you can access a service model using a direct link
The direct link to a Service Model is functioning exactly like the one for Reports. When a Service is opened from the dashboard, the view=service_name item is added to the Internet browser URL. When you switch back to the dashboard, this item is dropped. The link that is created when you select a service can be used as a direct link. That is to say, when another user uses it (or the same user, in a different internet browser), it leads the user directly to the selected service, without having to select the Service Modeling tab in the header and then select the service from the service dashboard.
