Change Auditor settings

The web client has its own settings which can be used to control the contents to be displayed.

Customize table content

The contents of the various data grids displayed in the web client can be sorted, rearranged, and grouped.

Sort data

An arrow in the column heading identifies the sort criteria and order, ascending or descending, being used to display information.

To change the sort criteria:
1
Click the column heading to be used for the sort criteria.
2
The sort order is in ascending order, but can be changed to descending order by clicking the heading a second time.
3
To specify a secondary sort order, click the heading of the column to use for the secondary sort order.
4
To remove the sort order from a column, click the column heading until the arrow disappears.
* 
NOTE: Selecting the F5 key to refresh your screen removes any sort criteria that you have applied.
Resize columns

Columns can also be resized within a data grid.

To resize a column:
1
Place your cursor on the boundary between column headings (the cursor changes to a double-arrow).
* 
NOTE: For primary columns (the columns shared by all data grid items), the boundary is located to the right of the column’s filter button. For secondary columns (any item specific columns), the boundary is located to the left of the column’s filter button.
2
Click and hold the left mouse button dragging the column boundary to the desired size.
Add or remove columns

Change Auditor displays a default set of columns for the different pages displayed. However, a few pages allow you to display more data or hide a particular column.

To add or remove columns:
1
Click Columns located above the column headings.
A drop-down list is displayed which shows the data (columns) available for display.
2
From this list, select the columns to display and clear the columns you do not want displayed.
3
Once you have selected all the columns to display, click outside of the drop-down list to close it.
* 
NOTE: For each individual search, you can select the data to be retrieved and displayed in the client using the Layout search properties tab. From this tab you can also define column order, sort criteria and order, groupings and the format to be used for displaying the retrieved data.
Expand properties button (right arrow)

The expand properties button (right arrow) is displayed throughout the web client, and is located to the left of any container that can be expanded to show more items or collapsed to hide unneeded items. When the arrow is displayed pointing to the lower-right it is expanded, and when the arrow is pointing to the center-right it is collapsed.

Additional expand properties buttons that appear within an expanded container will be hidden if the original container is collapsed. When the original container is re-expanded, all expand properties buttons within the original will appear as they were last set.

Filter data

Traditional search capabilities provide the first phase of drilling down on details you may be seeking, but locating individual events typically requires more granular search capabilities and additional steps. Change Auditor provides advanced filtering options to modify the results of a search without changing the original search. With this capability, filtering can be performed on one or more columns of a result, ultimately reducing the need to build the same search multiple times with minor customizations.

To filter data:

Throughout the web client, you will see a filter icon in the right-hand corner of column headings. This icon provides data filtering options which allow you to filter and sort the data displayed.

1
Click one of the filter icons to expand the filter options for that column.
2
By default, the web client uses the ‘Is equal to’ expression to filter the data. However, clicking the current expression displays a list of available expressions.
3
Depending on the data being filtered, one of the following controls appears:
•
Select Value field — click Select Value to display a list of options and select a value from this list.
•
Text box (blank box) — enter the word or string of characters to use to filter the data displayed.
* 
NOTE: The filtering feature is case sensitive.
4
Click Filter to filter the data according to your criteria.
5
To remove the filtering from a column, click the filter icon to expand the filtering options and click Clear.
* 
NOTE: Selecting the F5 key to refresh your screen removes any filtering that you have applied.

Directory object picker

Throughout the web client, you will encounter the directory object picker which allows you to locate and select a directory object from your environment. This object picker is displayed in either a stand-alone dialog (for example, Select Active Directory Objects dialog) or as a page in a wizard and consists of the following tabbed pages:

•
Browse - use the Browse page to select a directory object from a hierarchical view of your environment
•
Search - use the Search page to search your environment to locate and select a directory object
To browse for a directory object:
1
Click Browse.
2
In the Forest field, select the forest that contains the required directory objects.
* 
NOTE: The Forest field is available in directory object picker in the following areas:
•
Group membership expansion and SMTP configuration
•
Purge and archive jobs
•
Active Directory, AD Query, ADAM (AD LDS), Exchange, and Group Policy searches
•
Active Directory auditing and protection wizard
•
File System protection wizard
3
In the Find field, either enter or use the drop-down menu to select the type of directory objects to be displayed.
You can enter multiple classes, separated by either a comma or semi-colon. Note that when you type in an entry, you must use the Enter key to display the objects.
 
* 
NOTE: Most of the time, this field will be automatically filled in with the appropriate entry. Thus, when this field is grayed out, this is a read-only field which cannot be changed.
4
In the explorer view (left pane), single-click on the expand properties button (right arrow) to the left of the container or double-click a container to expand the view to display subordinate objects.
Select a container in this pane to populate the object list (right pane) with the objects that belong to the selected container.
5
In the object list, click an object to select it and then click Add to add it to the selected objects list at the bottom of the dialog.
6
Once you have added objects to this list, click OK to save your selection and close the dialog. Or if the directory object picker is part of a wizard, click Next to save your selection and continue.
* 
NOTE: The Selected Objects list is used for both the Browse and Search pages and will contain the objects selected from either of these pages.
To search your environment to locate a directory object:
1
Click Search and use the controls at the top of the page to search your environment to locate the desired objects.
2
In the Find field, either enter or use the drop-down menu to select the type of directory object to locate.
You can enter multiple classes, separated by either a comma or semicolon. When you type in an entry, you must click Search to display the objects.
3
In the Name field, specify a search expression to use to search Active Directory to locate a particular object. Usually, this field contains an asterisk (*) indicating to search for all objects of the type specified in the Find field.
* 
NOTE: Most of the time, this field will be automatically filled in with the appropriate entry. Thus, when this field is grayed out, this is a read-only field which cannot be changed.
The ANR check box is checked by default indicating that Ambiguous Name Resolution (ANR) is the search algorithm used, which allows you to enter limited input (partial data) to find multiple objects in your network.
When the ANR check box is checked, use one of the following methods to enter your search expression:
•
Enter a partial string to return exact matches or a list of possible matches. For example, entering ‘Admin’ will return objects that contain the names ‘Admin’, ‘Admins’, ‘Administrator’, Administrators’, etc.
•
Enter a string preceded by the equal sign (=Admins) to return only exact matches. For example, entering ‘=Admin’ returns only those objects containing the name ‘Admin’.
By default, ANR searches the following attribute fields in Active Directory:
•
First Name (GivenName)
•
Last Name (Surname)
•
Display Name (displayName)
•
LegacyExchangeDN
•
msExchMailNickname
•
Relative Discontinued Name of the object (RDN)
•
Office (physicalDeliveryOfficeName)
•
Email address (proxyAddress)
•
Security Account Manager account (sAMAccountName)
When the ANR check box is cleared, the search expression entered is used to search only the Display Name of directory objects to locate a particular object.
To use this search mechanism, enter a string of characters and the wildcard (*) character as described below.
•
n* returns objects that start with the letter ‘n’
•
*n returns objects that end in the letter ‘n’
•
*n* returns objects that contain the letter ‘n’ within their Display Name.
4
After entering a search expression, click Search to initiate the search and return the results of the search.
5
The object list displays the objects found as a result of your search. To select an object, click the object to select it and then click Add to add it to the Selected Objects list.
 
* 
NOTE: The Selected Objects list is used for both the Browse and Search pages and will contain the objects selected from either of these pages.
6
Once you have added objects to this list, click OK to save your selection and close the dialog. Or if the directory object picker is part of a wizard, click Next to save your selection and continue.
