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 |

Change the Source of Thumbnails (for the Stakeholder Widget)
The default source for pictures of CI owners (both direct and indirect) presented in the Stakeholder widget is the gravatar.com website. This source location can be changed according to the following instructions.
- In UCMDB, go to Administration > Infrastructure Settings Manager > UCMDB Browser settings.
- In the Name column, choose Stakeholder Image URL.
-
In the Value column, enter the URL for the new source location. The URL should have a parameter (or parameters) in square brackets (as shown in the examples below), which is an attribute name from the Party CIT, or from the Organization CIT or Person CIT which are children of the Party CIT. At runtime, the actual value of this attribute is set in the URL in order to receive the image.
Examples:
-
To use an image from the gravatar site, enter:
http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/[email]?s=42&d=mm
where [email] is an attribute of the Person CIT and will be replaced by the actual email address of the Stakeholder at runtime.
-
To use an image from Facebook image, enter:
https://graph.facebook.com/[attr_name]/picture
where [attr_name] is an any attribute that contains the Facebook User ID (this attribute should be added to Party CIT) and will be replaced by the actual Facebook User ID of the Stakeholder at runtime.
-
To use an image from Google, enter:
https://profiles.google.com/s2/photos/profile/[attr_name]?sz=42
where [attr_name] is an any attribute that contains the Google User ID (this attribute should be added to Party CIT) and will be replaced by the actual Google User ID of the Stakeholder at runtime.
