A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`

Viewing Charts and Statistics

Viewing Charts

Charts provide a graphical representation of selected data. There are a number of standard charts provided by Analysis Workbench to help visualize various data splits. The standard charts include the variation in scan age, the Scanner used and the split of recognition levels.

In addition, there are two bar charts which plot the number of recognized and unrecognized files against the frequency of their occurrences. The frequency is expressed as a percentage to allow for different numbers of machines loaded.

Charts are available from two sources:

By selecting an option from the View menu.
By right-clicking on a column header and clicking the Chart option. These displays a summary count of the column contents with a graphical representation of the results. This option is only available if there is text in that particular column.

Chart Buttons

The following buttons are available in all charts:

Button	Function
Save As	The chart can be saved to three different file formats: Enhanced metafile: .emf Windows Metafile: .wmf Windows Bitmap: .bmp
Copy	This button has a drop-down list menu. The chart can be copied to the clipboard in following formats: Enhanced metafile: .emf Windows Metafile: .wmf Windows Bitmap: .bmp
Print	Displays a print preview of the chart and allows you to set various print settings.
Options	Displays the Chart Options dialog box, where various options and filters can be set for the chart.
Refresh	Refreshes the chart to show any updated information. The chart can be viewed while data is being loaded.
OK	Click this button to return to the Analysis Workbench workspace.

Chart Options

The following options are available in all charts:

Applications	Applies an applications filter to the chart data.
Files	Applies a files filter to the chart data.
Directories	Applies a directories filter to the chart data.
Local	Applies a local tag filter to the chart data.
Background Color	Allows you to select a background color from the drop-down list.

Scan File Age Chart

This chart is displayed by selecting the Charts > Scan file Age option from the View main menu.

The Time since data collected, in months chart is displayed which shows the date of the loaded scan files.

The X axis shows the age of the scan files (in months). The Y axis shows the number of scan files.

The legend (shown in the left corner) allows you to identify the number of scans that belong in an age category.

This example shows:

One scan (14.29% of the scan files loaded) is 12 months old.
Five scans (71.43% of the scan files loaded) are 1 month old.
One scans (14.29%of the scan files loaded) is current (less than 1 month old).

Filters can also be used in the scan file age chart to narrow down and highlight items of particular interest. These filters are set from the Chart options page (click the Options button to access the filters).

Example:

To view the age of the scan for selected machines:

Tag the machines in the Machines page.
Apply a Machines filter to the chart data. The chart will display the age of the selected scans only.

The legend shows the number of scans that belong in an age category and the color of the bar that represents it.

Scan Method Chart

This chart is displayed by selecting the Charts > Scan Method option from the View main menu.

This displays a chart of the Scanners used for collecting data chart. For example:

This example shows four segments of a pie chart. It indicates that four types of Scanner have been used to created the scans loaded in Analysis Workbench.

The legend (shown in the left corner) enables you to identify the type of Scanner, the number of scans created using that Scanner and the color of the segment that represents it.

This example shows:

Two scans have been created using a Windows (x86) Scanner.
Two scans have been created using an HP-UX (HPPA) Scanner.
Two scans have been created using a AIX (POWER) Scanner.
One scan has been created using a Linux (x86) Scanner

Filters can also be used in the Scan method chart to narrow down and highlight items of particular interest. These filters are set from the Chart options page (click the Options button).

Example:

To view the method used for scanning a machine that contains a particular application:

Tag the application in the Applications page.
Apply an Applications filter to the chart data. The chart will display the Scanner that was used to scan the machine containing that application.

The legend shows the type of Scanner used, the number of scans created using that Scanner and the color of the segment that represents it.

Recognition Chart

This chart is displayed by selecting the Charts > Recognition option from the View main menu.

This displays the Recognition statistics chart which shows Main, Associated, 3rd Party and Unknown files.

This example shows a pie chart with five segments.

The legend (shown in the left corner) enables you to identify the type of files recognized, the number of files in that category and the segments that represents them.

This example shows:

25 files (0.69%) have been recognized as Main files.
3,059 files (84.06%) are Associated files.
118 files (3.24%) are 3rd Party files.
250 files (6.87%) have been recognized as Unknown files.
187 files (5.14%) are CheckVer files.

For more information, see the section describing Display/Storage Filter for descriptions of these file recognition categories.

Filters can also be used in the Recognition chart to narrow down and highlight items of particular interest. These filters are set from the Chart options page (click the Options button).

Example:

To view the recognition statistics for all Main files recognized:

In the Files window, locate an entry that has Status of 1 Main. This is the status setting for Main files.
Right-click on this entry in the Status column and select the Tag > Status is 1 Main option. A Global tag is applied to all files in this window that are Main files.
Apply a Files filter to the chart data. The chart will display the Scanner that was used to scan the machine containing that application.

The legend (shown in the left corner) allows you to identify the type of files recognized, the number of files in that category and the color of the segments that represents them.
