After you have executed a search and displayed a list of results, you can reorganize the display to show items in a different sequence, add or remove columns for particular characteristics, group the items according to one or more characteristics, and/or select various items from the results.

Value Grouping |
You can organize the reported data hierarchically according to the value of one or more of the column categories. You might organize the data by Type, and within each Type by Name; if you then click on any of the other column headings, the data within this grouping is further sorted with the values of the selected column (for example, Created) in ascending or descending order. To set up the value grouping, drag the column heading representing the primary grouping (such as Author) onto the Drag a column header here to group by that column field. Now drag the column heading for the next level of grouping (such as Status) to the right of the first heading; the two heading titles display as connected blocks, as shown:
You can, if required, add further levels of grouping by dragging other column headings onto the hierarchy (such as Created), and restructure the order by dragging existing or additional headings into the level you want them to hold. For example, you could make Type the secondary grouping by dragging it to the right of Author, or drop Status between Author and Type. To remove a grouping level, drag the appropriate column heading out of the sequence and below the View header; any subordinate groupings move up a level.

The Filter Bar displays underneath the column headings; you can hide or show it by right-clicking on the column headings and clicking on the Toggle Filter Bar option. The Filter Bar consists of a row of fields, one field per column; as you type a value into one of these fields, the Model Search results are automatically filtered to show entries in the corresponding column that contain the value in the field.
