# Working Area

## User Interface and Description

This topic explains working area and many of its components. The working area allows you to work with queries. Here are some of the tasks you could do in the working area:

- Customize the query's parameters
- View query results
- Review automatically generated summary reports
- Retrieve history report
- Create your own report with query results and publish as a PDF

The working area consists of two panels: query settings and query results.

Query settings:

- FILTERS tab: In this tab, you can set filters to run queries. (For more information, see #2 in the below table.)
- COLUMNS tab: In this tab, you can chose the columns that display in the grid and set the order of the columns. (For more information, see #5 in the below table.)

Query results:

- OVERVIEW tab: This tab displays in all sections/subsections, but its use may be disabled. All data from collectors that fit the query's filters display in this tab.
- SUMMARY tab: This tab displays in all sections/subsections, but its use may be disabled. SUMMARY is not available when there is no built-in summary reports regarding the section or subsection. This tab shows some summary reports but they cannot be customized.
- HISTORY tab: This tab displays in all sections/subsections, but its use may be disabled. This tab is unavailable until you retrieve history for one or more rows from the OVERVIEW tab.
- REPORT tab: You can customize the report's settings, publish the report to PDF, and send the report to any email address.

2. | FILTERS allow you to define groups of rules in your queries.
