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 |
|
|
| 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 |

Specify the Appearance and Order of Widgets
You can specify which widgets appear in the Browser and in what order.
In the Infrastructure Settings Manager in UCMDB, you specify the list of widgets that you do not want to appear in the Browser with the List of widgets to be removed from the application setting and the order that the widgets appear with the List of widget order in the application setting. For details, see "Infrastructure Settings Manager" in the Administer section of the UCMDB Help.
In addition to specifying whether widgets (including dynamic widgets) and their order are visible for all users (as mentioned in the previous section), you can choose the widgets that you want to appear in the Browser only for a particular role by selecting them on the Resources tab of the Roles Manager in UCMDB. For details, see "Roles Manager" in the Administer section of the UCMDB Help.
