Explorer view

The left pane of the Searches page displays a hierarchical view of the folders used to manage your search definitions and the built-in reports. This view initially displays the following folders:

Quick Search

Allows you to define a search that is to run as soon as the definition is finished. Unlike other custom searches, this search definition will not be saved unless you click Save As on one of the Search Properties tabs.

Private

Used to store your personal custom searches. Only you can see these searches.

* 
NOTE: A foreign security principal in foreign forests is required for some private searches to function properly.

To store foreign user created searches in Change Auditor:
1. Create a trust between the foreign domain and the domain where Change Auditor is installed.
2. Add the foreign user to any group in the Change Auditor domain. This will cause Windows to create a foreign security principal object in the Change Auditor domain.
Shared

Contains the predefined search definitions provided with Change Auditor and can also be used to store public custom searches. All users can see these searches.

Built-In

Contains all predefined reports.

Searches list

The right pane of the Searches page displays a list of the search definitions or built-in reports contained in the folder selected in the explorer view.

The following information is displayed for each search definition:
