Click in the Click here to filter data cell to enter the criteria to be used to filter the data displayed. See Filter data for more information on using Change Auditor’s filtering feature.

Display results in different formats

When a grouping is created (for example, a single column heading is dragged up into the heading area to group the data), three icons are added to the heading area which can be used to display the data in a different format. The following icons/formats are available:

Data Grid: Select the data grid icon to redisplay the data in the grid format (default format).
Pie Chart: Select the pie chart icon to display a pie chart showing the correlated data. Move your cursor over the pieces in the pie chart to display the label and number of items that make up that piece of the pie.
Bar Graph: Select the bar graph icon to display a bar graph showing the correlated data. Move your cursor over the bars in the graph to display the label and number of items that make up that bar.
* 
NOTE: The Pie Chart and Bar Graph displays are only available when a single level grouping has been applied to the data grid. Also, when the search results are too numerous to chart, a message will display stating that there are too many items to display them all.
