Changing Report Layout

You can customize report layouts for your own purposes. By default, reports include a column for each information type you selected before running the report, in the order presented in the report dialog. The columns in the report are initially sorted by computer name.

You can resize or rearrange the columns of a report, as well as sort the rows by column.

Additionally, in the File Search report, you can choose what information is displayed about a found item. By default, the item name, kind, parent path, actual size, and modification date are displayed.

  1. Choose Report > File Search.
  2. In the File Search report window, select or deselect each report column as desired.
    Report column If checked, will show
    Name The item name
    Parent path The path to the folder that the item is in
    Full path The full file path
