Release 6.1.1911.0497 (All applications) | 6.1.1912.0513 (All applications)

Overview

The Govern Knowledge Base (KB) Search has been incorporated into the Govern Ribbon as part of the Help online help feature. This KB Search field is visible over all Govern suite applications for release 6.1. In addition, the display of the search field is persistent even if the ribbon is minimized.

NOTE: Users must ensure that they have internet access, a compatible browser, and an active account to access to the Knowledge Base.

Configuration

Govern New Administration (GNA)

In order to display the Ribbon Search field, it is necessary for an Administrator to run the Verify Database process in the Govern New Administration (GNA).

Security Manager (SM)

It will then be necessary to have the Security option in GSM configured to allow the user to see the KB Search in the ribbon.

The security applied is the same for all applications, except for the OpenForms Designer (OFD) which does not offer a securable node.

Presentation

This KB Search is available in the following applications (for the versions 6.1.1911 and 6.1.1912 only):

Govern (Ribbon)
GNA (Ribbon)
GSM (Ribbon)
QT (Ribbon)
BED (ToolBar)
BSC (ToolBar)

Govern Query Tool (QT)

Overview

The Govern QueryTool is designed for performing searches on Govern data. It provides a user-friendly interface for creating and running SQL selection queries. You can easily add conditions or change existing ones on the fly. No knowledge of SQL is required.

By default, it is integrated with Govern OpenForms and can be launched from the Tools menu. It can be integrated with Govern for Windows. Alternatively, you can use it as a standalone application.

NOTE: The QueryTool is used for selection queries only to view information from the Govern database. It cannot be used for action queries to add, update, or delete information from a database.

With the Govern Query Tool, you can:

Run predefined queries or create new ones directly from the Govern application.
Change conditions or add new ones on the fly. Then, see the results immediately.
Create and save private queries for your own use or public queries that you can share with specific roles and users
Add conditions to refine the search
Add comparison or logical operators

User Interface

The Query Tool UI has the same general features as the Govern interface, for detaching, moving, and pinning the panes and other features in different locations. For details, see
https://kb.harrisgovern.com/101-std-fea-001.

Integration

Integrating the QueryTool with Govern for Windows

The Govern OpenForms QueryTool can be integrated with Govern for Windows and launched directly from the Applications or Tools menu.
You can then perform a Selection Query and load the results to the Govern tables: PC_EXTERNAL, NA_EXTERNAL, or PM_EXTERNAL.
