Results List
The Results List is where you will spend most your time. This is where all your library files and searches are displayed. You can customize the layout of columns, save layout snapshots, use the Search Bar to display filtered results and manage all your files.
Library / Search Results
When you click a library in the PeakTree all records in that library are displayed in the result list.
If you perform a search, by default the search is done on your entire database. You can then click a library to filter results in that library based off your search in real-time. This means even after you have entered a search you can click through your libraries and only show records based off the search result.
To focus all your searches on a specific set of libraries hold Ctrl/Cmd + Click the library to force results only from those libraries. Do the same to reverse this selection. Check the PeakTree page for more detailed info on how to filter your libraries in the Results List
Hint: If you have selected a library or performed a search and want to go back and display ALL RECORDS in your database again, make sure all search boxes are clear, click in the first search box and just press Enter and this will revert back to display all records.
Column Layout & Snapshots
You can customize the fields that are displayed in the result list and reorder their position easily. Simply Right-Click the header of the result list to select the fields you want to display and Click-Drag the headers to reorder the positions.
Snapshots will store your current result list view including the fields displayed, positions and sizing. This can be handy to create different views to see the metadata you need for a search. There are 4 snapshot slots which you can choose to store the current layout or recall a stored layout by Right-Click the header bar
Navigation
Navigating the file list is as simple as navigating files on your computer. Use the mouse and scroll bars or use the keyboard Up / Down arrows to step through results. As you scroll each sound will play automatically which you can toggle with this button in the transport bar:
Shortcut Keys for Playback
Pause Playback = Space
Retrigger Sound = Esc

Drag any added header out of the grouping bar area to remove it and click any of the headers to order first by that header
