Working with Query Results

Depending on the display options selected for the query, the results are displayed in a list, marked in the tree, or both. You can edit properties for nodes in a list of results for local queries. Structural changes and property edits are allowed for local query results displayed as marked nodes in the hierarchy tree. Global query results are read only.

Navigating in List View

Query results displayed in a list only show nodes that meet the query criteria. From the Node menu, you can select these options:

  • Take — Copies a node to the Clipboard from which you can insert it, move it, reorder it, or paste its properties somewhere else.

  • Go to Node — Takes you to the selected node in the tree view

  • Show Filter Row — Opens a blank row that you can use to filter the list

  • Properties — Displays the node properties on the Properties tab

Navigating in Tree View

Query results displayed as marked nodes in a tree will show the entire hierarchy tree with a blue checkmark next to each node that meets the query criteria.

You can use the following toolbar buttons:
