- Hide certain alerts from the list by using Acknowledge option. This might be useful if you don’t want to be distracted by the accidental warning or “expected” error.

- Export selected events into comma-separated values (CSV) file for analytic or archival purposes.
|
TIP: Use search or filtering to quickly navigate to the points of interest. |
Please consider the following:
Depending on selected migration options, the content is transferred in separate batches that can be submitted for processing at the same time. It can take a while before processing of submitted batches will be completed. To help tracking the migration, the status for batches that are processed will be reported approximately every 5 minutes.
The lists of accounts, mailboxes, tasks or events could be large and hard to manage. You cannot scroll past 10,000 items or rows in a view. Use the Search box above this list to look for items that match your custom criteria.
You can use words, phrases, and special queries in your search. The search is performed across all fields. You can add search criteria to the search using facet filters on the left pane. Any filter can be cleared from the search by clicking 
button. Press Enter to get the search results.
|
|
TIP: Add * to the end of the search query to match all items starting with the search term. Otherwise, you will only get the exact matches. For example, john* returns John Doe, Johnson Smith, and john.doe. Search expressions are case-insensitive. |
Advanced Search
You can refine your results by using the advanced search operators. See Lucene Tutorial for the full information on search syntax.
