View search results

To view the results of a search:
1
From the Searches page, run a search.
2
For each search that is run, a new search results page is automatically created and opened, allowing you to view the event records returned.
3
When multiple search results are active, select the heading tab at the top of a search page to view the selected search results.
4
Use the column controls to sort, rearrange, or group the data displayed. See Customize table content for more information on using the column controls to customize the content of this page.
5
Change Auditor also provides advanced filtering options that allow you to modify the results of a search without changing the original search. 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.

Preview search results

The criteria definition is in-line with the results which enables you to preview and modify the results without closing and opening multiple dialogs.

To modify search criteria and preview the results:
1
Open the Search Results page for a search where you want to preview changes based on new search criteria.
2
Click Search Properties to display the Search Properties tabs across the bottom of the page.
3
Modify the search criteria and then click Preview Changes from one of the Search Properties tabs.
4
The results of the modified search appears at the top of the open Search Results page. An asterisk is appended to the name in the tab denoting that the search properties have been modified and these changes have not yet been saved.
5
Once you achieve the desired results, you can use Save or Save As on one of the Search Properties tabs to save the modifications made to the search criteria.

Compare results side-by-side

You can run two searches side-by-side simultaneously. When multiple pages are open, you can split the current screen to display two or more pages at the same time. For example, you can view multiple search results pages in the client allowing you to compare the results against each other.

* 
NOTE: For optimal viewing, this feature should be used in a dual monitor configuration.
To compare results side-by-side:
1
Run the searches to be compared. On the Search Results pages, we recommend that you hide the Event Details pane and Search Properties tabs so that when the screen spits, you will have more space for viewing events.
2
Right-click the heading tab of one of these Search Results pages and select one of the following commands:
•
New Horizontal Tab Group - to view two or more panes down the screen.
•
New Vertical Tab Group - to view two or more panes across the screen.
3
This splist the screen (either horizontally or vertically depending on the command selected) displaying multiple pages in the single view.
4
To move a page from one pane to another, right-click the heading tab of the page to be moved and select Move to Next Tab Group. This will move the selected page to the other pane displayed. To move this page back, right-click the heading tab and select Move to Previous Tab Group.
5
To close the split screen and return to a single pane, use Action | Reset Display.
