Organizing the Entries in the Result Manager Window

There are two ways to organize the entries in the Result Manager window: searching and sorting.

Searching for Entries

You can search for particular saved entries by editing the Name field and, as shown in the following examples, using pattern-matching characters %, *, and _. Note that the percent sign (%) and the asterisk (*) can be used to indicate one or more characters. The underscore (_) indicates only one character.

Type AI% for one or more entries that start with AI of the type displayed.
Type *NE for one or more entries that end with NE of the type displayed.
Type %IR% for one or more entries that contain IR of the type displayed.
Type T_ _ _ _ _N for a seven-letter entry name that starts with T and ends with N. (Note that there are five underscores between the first letter and the last letter.)
Type _ _ _ _ (four underscores) to list only those entries whose names contain four characters or fewer.

To restore the display to a full listing of saved entries, type % or * in the Name field.

Sorting Entries

You can sort the contents of the Result Manager window by Name, Description, Date, or Type. To sort the entries, follow this selection path:

View Sort By
A menu of available sorting parameters appears. Select the parameter by which you wish to sort the entries. Note that if you sort by Date, the most recent entries appear at the top of the list.
