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 |

Visibility Rule
The Visibility Rule property enables you show or hide the widget based on the outcome of a rule.
Tip You can also use the Status Visible Group widget to show or hide a widget. Use the group widget when you want to show or hide non-BVD shapes, or to show or hide a large number of shapes. Then it is easier to group the shapes with the Status Visible Group and set the visibility rule in the group widget. See also Status Visible Group.
Visibility rules have the following format:
<property><operator><value>
<property>- The name of the data property to use to calculate the visibility.
<operator>- The operation that is used to compare the current value of the property with the given value. For a list of operators, see Rule Operators.
<value>- The value the operator works on.
Example
errors>=10
If the value of the data field errors is greater than or equal to ten, the widget is shown in the dashboard. In all other cases, the widget is hidden.
