    • Time Range Only. Allows you to limit the time interval to a specific date and specific time range during that date.

  7. To group search results by specific columns, you can drag and drop the column headings.
    For example, drag and drop the Exception Code column to the Drag a column here to group area to display exceptions by each exception code.

  8. Tags from the Exceptions Details grid can be added to the Exceptions grid as columns using the Add as Custom Column context (or right-click) menu command. Custom Columns support all common grid features.

  9. To quickly find all the exceptions for the same security and to save time to search for all the exceptions that were found in the same file, you can search by Sender Information.
