Customizing InFlight

Updating your preferences

The Preferences page, located under the user icon next to your name, allows you to customize a variety of global InFlight settings. You can use the General tab of the Preferences page to customize settings such as:

• The date and time format
• The number of search results you see per page
• Your landing page, if you would like to see a page other than the Dashboard when you first log in
• The time frame you want to apply to any searches you run with the quick search bar

If you have used the Configure columns feature to modify the way your search results are displayed, you can also restore your column settings to their default state.

Pinning favorite search fields

You can pin your favorite search fields to any search or report pane for faster, easier access to what you use most. After you pin a field, it will remain on your search pane until you unpin it. You can pin as many fields as you want.

Changing the display

You can drag the vertical bar on the Document detail page to increase or decrease the amount of space devoted to the File details, Event details, and Attachment details tabs. You can also click the arrow on the vertical bar to collapse the Document detail and File panes completely.

Customizing your search results

Every document search page, and every report page, includes a Configure columns feature that allows you to select the information that displays in your search results. Selected fields appear as columns of information in your search results, while unselected fields do not. You can modify these column options at any time.

You can also drag and drop columns on these pages to customize the order in which your information is displayed.

To change the number of search results that you see on each page, use the drop down menu to select the number of rows that are displayed. Changing this setting via the menu immediately updates your display for that page in your session. To make the change permanent and apply it to other document search and reports pages, update your default number of Results per page in your Preferences.

Adding fields

If you are subscribed to IBM data translation services, you can request that IBM provide up to three additional search fields for searching the details of your data. Once added, these fields are mapped to the ExtraInfo1, ExtraInfo2, and ExtraInfo3 sections in the search criteria panel, which are found in theBusiness field 1, Business field 2, and Business field 3 drop down menus.
