Discover Results

On This Page
Overview
The Results page displays the content identified by Discover. The page refreshes every minute to ensure the grid always displays what is in the catalog. The first column in the results will always be Item name and display the file name. The total number of items and the size of the items displays above this column. The results grid dynamically creates all other columns from entity types and columns defined in catalog.
Resizing Columns
Columns can be resized horizontally. The mouse will turn into a resize pointer when you hover between two columns. Hold the left mouse button and drag the column to resize it. Resized columns will retain their size and reset when the page refreshes.
Ellipses (…) will display if content is too long to fit in the column width. You can adjust the column width to fit the content, or you can hover on the content to display a tooltip that shows the full content.
Sorting Columns
By default, the content is sorted based on the order it was added to the catalog. If new content is discovered on subsequent scans, that content will be added at the end of the results. You can sort the results based on most columns in the grid. Columns that display multiple results per file cannot be sorted. (See “Viewing Multiple Results” below for more information.)
Clicking a column header will sort that column in ascending order. An up arrow will appear on the column to indicate the ascending sort order (A). Clicking the column header again will sort the column in descending order. A down arrow will appear on the column to indicate the descending sort order (B). Clicking the column header a third time will use the default sort order. The selected sort will persist until you change the sort order or select to sort a different column.
DryvIQ uses natural sorting. Learn more about how natural sorting works here.
Viewing Multiple Results
If an entity returns more than one result, the column will display “> Show more” followed by a number that identifies the number of results found. Click the arrow to display all the results.
Navigating Pages
One hundred results display on a page. The pagination toolbar at the bottom of the page allows you to quickly move through the pages of results. The last page number button identifies the number of pages that have been generated based on the number of results. Use the arrows buttons to advance to advance through the pages, click the page number you want to view, or specify the page number.

Selecting Files
Click the box in front of a file to select it. A check mark displays in the box, and the row will be highlighted yellow to indicate the row is selected. A footer appears indicating the number of selected files. You can select multiple files across multiple pages as needed. As you select files, the footer will update to reflect your selections (A). Clearing the box clear the selection(s). The footer will update as you clear selections and disappear if all options are cleared.
To select all files on the page, select the box in front of the Item Name column header. The footer update to to display “Page selected” with a value next to it. This is the number of files selected on the current page. Also note that the selected files are highlighted yellow to visually indicate they are selected (B).
To select the entire list (all files across all pages), click Select entire list. The column will change to “Entire list selected” with the total number of selected files on the current page (C).
Exporting the Results
Use the Export items link to export the results. If your browser Downloads setting is set to ask you where to save each file before downloading, you will be prompted to specify the name of the file and the location where you want to save it. Otherwise, the export will be named “items” and will be downloaded to the Downloads folder (or whatever folder you have specified in your Downloads settings).
The export will reflect any customizations made to the Results page. Only visible columns are included in the export, and the information will be formatted based on the setting for the column. For columns set to “Hide/Show,” the values will be encrypted in the export. For columns set to “Redacted.” the values will be hashed in the export. In addition, the export will respect any filters applied to the results and will only include selected files, if applicable. The information is exported into a CSV file that can be opened in Microsoft Excel to view and share as needed.
If you attempt to generate an export with more than one million rows, the export will silently fail. This is a known issue as the export cannot handle this number of records.
Microsoft Excel has a maximum limit of 1,048,576 rows. When opening the export file, Excel will display a message to warn you if your file exceeds the maximum supported rows, and the excess content will not be displayed. Refer to Microsoft’s Excel specifications and limits for more information.
