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 splits 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.
