Collections panel as Systems or Events. These collections can be saved as private or shared.
Hierarchical displays
Some search criteria require hierarchical displays. Examples of hierarchical criteria are Operating System,
Event Type, and Software/Firmware.
In these cases, the comparison selection box is replaced by a selection box containing the appropriate
syntax for that particular tree level. The most complex of these cases is the Software/Firmware criteria. When

In this case, as selections are made in the higher-level selection boxes, the available selections in lower-level
boxes update.
