GUIDED VIEWING QUESTIONS
In order to view isolate results, the user must access the View and
Maintain Isolates Results screen. This screen is set up using tree menu
control or a navigation tree. This structure allows users to find the
information they need easily and quickly.
As you can see below, information is displayed in the left view bar in
hierarchical order. The main topics are at the top and the
subordinate/related items are underneath. In Chapter 2, you were
introduced to general configuration as it related to results. It is here that
the configuration settings will play a major role with assisting in
management of results.
