Anatomy of the Status Window

The Status Window provides a real-time summary of your current search and is composed of the Current Status, Total Locations Searched, and Total Identity Matches groups as well as the Hide and More/Less button.  To view the status window, click the "Status Window" button on the Main ribbon.

 

Current Status

This group box contains the name of the location currently being searched as well as two Progress Bars.  Sometimes a notification message will be displayed in the Searching field, such as "Opening Mailboxes".  There are two progress bars: Current Progress and Total Progress.  The Current Progress Bar depicts this percentage complete for the current Area.  The Total Progress is made up of a number of Areas.  Locations might have one or more Areas.  For example, Hidden Web Data is a location, but searching Internet Explorer Passwords is one Area and Firefox Passwords is another area.  To the right of Total Progress is Current Area / Total Areas.  While Identity Finder is working, the magnifying glass will be animated to the left of the word Searching.  This group also contains subtotals of the following items:

Total Locations Searched

This group box shows a detailed view of all the identity locations searched so far and the specific number of each type.  The total of all the counters in this group equals the Total Location Searched counter in the Summary group.

Total Identity Matches

This group box shows a detailed view of all the identity match types found so far and the specific number of each type.  The total of all the counters in this group equals the Total Identity Matches counter in the Summary group.

Buttons

There are two buttons, Hide and Less.  Hide will remove the Status Window from your view.  To bring it back, click the "Status Window" button on the Main ribbon.  Less will compact the Status Window and change to More.
