# File List View

Top Previous Next

As files are found during the search they appear in the File List view. For each file its name and location are displayed. All files selected in this view are shown in the Contents view. Agent Ransack supports context menus to list valid operations for a selected file or group of files. Context menus will work on selections of multiple files but the list of valid operations will be reduced to only the operations common to all selected files.

Column Filters

Files can be temporarily filtered from the list through column filters. Click the Filter button (highlighted below) to display the filter edit boxes.

The filters are applied immediately and can contain Boolean or type specific expressions:

Boolean expressions | All column filters can accept Boolean expressions, e.g. tower NOT (bridge OR hamlets)
Numeric expressions | Numeric columns, such as Size and Hits, can be filtered on the text in the column using Boolean expressions or the underlying numeric value. The greater than or less than symbols are used to indicate numeric range filtering, e.g. > 10 < 20. The size column also accepts Byte, KB, MB, or GB symbols.
Date/time expressions | Date/time columns, such as Modified, Created, and Last Accessed columns, can be filtered on the text in the column using Boolean expressions or the underlying date/time value. The greater than or less than symbols are used to indicate date/time range filtering, e.g. > 20 Sep 2010. Date/times can be specified in any format accepted by the standard Date/Time processing functionality including relative date times, e.g. < Today -3 years.
