Collections

panel as Systems or Events. These collections can be saved as private or shared.

Hierarchical displays

Some search criteria require hierarchical displays. Examples of hierarchical criteria are Operating System,
Event Type, and Software/Firmware.

In these cases, the comparison selection box is replaced by a selection box containing the appropriate
syntax for that particular tree level. The most complex of these cases is the Software/Firmware criteria. When
Software/Firmware is selected, a series of search criteria are added below in a tree format:

system type is

and operating system is

and software/firmware type is

and name is

and version is

In this case, as selections are made in the higher-level selection boxes, the available selections in lower-level
boxes update.

Save as

When you click Save As Collection, the Save As Collection section displays. Enter a name for the search
in the Name field, and select where to save it. See

“Saving collections”

for more information.

View

When you click View, the results of the search display below the search frame. This functionality enables
you to preview the results of the search before saving it or to run a search without saving it.
