Press Enter to submit the query or click the icon next to the text field. The GUI saves recently entered
queries as browser cookies. You can view the list of recent queries by clicking the drop-down list for the
entry field in the banner.
Auto-filtering is also supported in the entry field. When you type in the entry field, the drop-down list is
automatically populated with all recent queries containing the entered text. Use the mouse to select a
query or use the down arrow and Enter keys.
Selecting Display Modes
The GUI provides multiple viewing options for query results: Table, Tree, Map, Chart, and Tile. Table is the
default viewing mode. You can apply Table and Tree viewing modes to any data results. Map, Chart, and
Tile viewing modes require data in a particular format and you can only use them for specific query
results. Use Map viewing mode for topology queries. To display statistical information, use Chart and Tile
viewing modes. To select a viewing mode, click the appropriate viewing mode in the drop-down Display
Mode list in the center pane header.

with the query. To create a new folder for the saved query, click the New Folder button. Saved queries
are stored on the server running the web service and are available for all users using that server to launch
the GUI.
