The GlobalWare Sabre Interface help system provides several features that can help you quickly find the information you need.

The left-pane area provides the following tabs.

Index – This tab provides an index. Each index entry opens the applicable help topic.
Glossary – This tab provides a list of terms related to the GlobalWare Sabre Interface. Click a term to view its description.

The following icons provide printing, expansion, and highlighting controls.

– This icon provides full print functionality for the currently displayed help topic.
– This icon expands or collapses all drop-down areas in the help topic.

You can expand all drop-down areas in the displayed topic by clicking this icon. You also can expand individual drop-down areas by clicking the arrow () icon.
– If you arrived at a help topic by using the Search feature in the top-right area of the help system, the terms you searched against are highlighted in the displayed topic. To remove the highlights, click this icon.

The online help Search feature in the upper right of the help is useful for finding topics that match the word or phrase you specify.

After typing a word or phrase, press Enter or click the search icon.

Search does not support special characters or wildcards, and they are ignored.

When searching for a format, enter descriptive text or the format without special characters.

Search for FA to return results for Entering Add-Collect Exchanges.
Search for GN to return results for Group Tracking.
The entry for name field remarks is 1.1, which returns all topics with 1. Instead, search for name.

To search for a phrase, enclose the phrase in quotations. For example, entering "pending disbursement" returns only the topics that contain the phrase pending disbursement.
Words with variant endings are returned in results. For example, a search for car returns topics with cars, carry, and care.
Boolean operators are supported. Boolean operators are not case sensitive.
- AND narrows the search and retrieves only the topics that contain all of the words. When separating words with blank spaces, the AND is inferred. You can also use a plus (+) or ampersand (&).
- OR broadens the results by retrieving topics that contain any of the words it separates. You can also use a pipe (|).
- NOT finds topics that contain one term but not the other. You can also use a caret (^).
- Use parentheses and quotation marks to combine Boolean phrases and search terms. For example, ("pending disbursement") AND ("awaiting approval") returns topics that contain both phrases enclosed by parentheses.
