The results view is a reporting table, similar to a spreadsheet, that is on the left side of Identity Finder. It has a header across the top that contains the following column headers:

Allows you to select multiple results and perform an action of your choice using the ribbon or right-click menu. To select or deselect all locations, you may left click on this column header. |
|

|

Identity Finder generated icon that represents the identity match type. You may hover the mouse cursor over the icon to see a detailed description of the identity match type. |

The actual identity match found by Identity Finder. Your actual identity, such as credit card number, will be displayed here. (Note: Passwords may be hidden or masked) |
|

For a parent row this shows the total number of identity matches in the location. For child rows, this shows the quantity of that exact identity match found. |

You may choose which column headers you want to see in the results pane. Right-click on the column header and choose Columns. Each column header available to you is shown in the submenu. Put a check (by left-clicking) next to each column header you want displayed.

You may sort your results by clicking on specific column headers. You can have a primary, secondary, tertiary (and beyond) sort order by first left-clicking on a specific column header, then while holding SHIFT, left-clicking again on a second column header (or third or fourth, etc.). You may also use the right mouse button context menu and to right-click on the header for the column you want to sort and choose Sort then choose to Sort Ascending or Sort Descending. Right-clicking on additional headers will allow you to edit the existing sort options or enable sorting by secondary, tertiary, etc.

Note: Clicking the Checkbox column header will select or deselect all of your results. It will not sort. To sort this column, you must right-click on the column header and then select your sort preferences.
