Results View
The Results view displays the messages generated as a result of user actions such as validations, transformations, search operations, and others.

The Results view is automatically opened when certain actions generate result messages. Those actions include the following:
- Validation actions
- Transformation actions

- Find/Replace in Files dialog box

Results View Toolbar Actions
The view includes a toolbar with the following actions:
Grouping options drop-down menu
- A set of Group by toggle actions that allow
you to group the messages according to a selected criteria so that they can be presented
in
a hierarchical layout. The criteria used for grouping can be the severity of the errors
(error, warning, info message, etc.), the resource name, the description of the message,
and
so on.
This drop-down menu also includes the following additional grouping actions:
Ungroup
all- Removes the grouping rules so that the messages are presented in a continuous list.
- Show group columns
- If any of the Group by options are selected, you can use this option to show or hide grouping columns.
- Restore Defaults
- Restores the column size for each column and the grouping rules that were saved in
the
user preferences the last time when this view was used. If it is the first time this
view is used, the action sets an initial default column size for each column and a
grouping rule that is appropriate for the type of messages. For example:
- Group the messages by the path of the validated file if there are error messages from a validation action or spelling errors reported by the Check Spelling in Files action.
- No grouping rule for the results of applying an XPath expression.
Highlight
all results in editor- Oxygen XML Developer highlights all matches obtained after executing an XPath
expression, or performing one of the following operations: Find
