Enable Image Access Manual (and CLI help) contradict themselves
The Notes contradict each other over whether TIME being specified really ignore ALL other selection criteria. This is RP 4.0 in the field but the help on commands still gives the same contradictory notes. From the notes on Enable_Image_Access: The 'image', 'image_type', 'search_text', 'exact_text' and 'max_search_range' parameters are only relevant when 'time' is not specified, or when 'image' is set to 'prev' or 'next'. Contradicts what it says later Alternatively, you can find the automatically bookmarked image that is closest to a given time by specifying the time, entering the group set name (without the ID number) as the bookmark search text, and setting the 'exact_text' setting to 'no'. The last part implies you can specify a search text and a time and have both in effect. The first part says search_text doesn’t apply when time is specified. Even more crazy it says that max_search_range does not apply when time is specified when that qualifier specifies how exact a time you want. Could someone clarify EXACTLY which combinations of search qualifiers may be used together. Does this depend on the RP version. We want to support 3.5 thru 4.1 SP2. (I realise 4.1 makes it mandatory to specify IMAGE=search_image which used to be implicit)

Hi there,
When using search_image image type with search_image image, time is acceptable (without specifying it, the latest image of that type will be selected).
The time parameter is also applicable when using search_text as well, optional as the first example
That's applicable for 4.1 and 4.0.
We will clarify that in the CLI guide as well as the CLI help.
if you're seeing something different than what I've stated above, please let me know.
