Option	Description
To access	The Run Results Tree pane is displayed by default on the left side of the Run Results Viewer. It cannot be hidden.
Important information	Click a node in the tree to view its details in the Result Details pane. Other panes also display information for the test or component or highlighted step, if available. You can collapse or expand a node in the run results tree to change the level of detail that the tree displays. You can also use the Filter Dialog Box (Run Results Viewer) commands to control what is displayed in the run results tree.

Run Results Tree

Some of the Run Results Tree icons are described below:

UI Element	Description
	Indicates a step that succeeded. Note: If a test does not contain checkpoints, no icon is displayed. For components, this icon is displayed only if the component step contains one of the following: Verify operations (functions), such as VerifyProperty AddToRunResults (or its equivalent) with a micPass status
	Indicates a step that failed. Failed steps cause all parent steps (up to the root action, test, or component) to fail as well.
	(GUI tests only) Indicates an information step. This does not affect the pass/fail status of the step. (Relevant only for GUI tests)
	Indicates a warning, meaning that the step did not succeed, but it did not cause the action, test, or component to fail.
	Indicates a step that failed unexpectedly, such as when an object is not found for a checkpoint.
	(GUI tests and components only) Indicates that the Smart Identification mechanism successfully found the object.
	(GUI tests and components only) Indicates that a recovery scenario was activated.
	Indicates that the run session was stopped before it ended.
	(GUI tests and components only) Square brackets around a test object name indicate that the test object was created dynamically during the run session. A dynamic test object is created either using programmatic descriptions or by using an object returned by a ChildObjects method, and is not saved in the object repository.
	(GUI tests and components only) Displays the Maintenance Mode Update Result, which is a table that describes the Action taken by Maintenance Run Wizard on a failed step and its Details. Displayed only for tests or components run in Maintenance Run Mode. For more details, see Maintenance Run mode.

Search Box

The Search box user interface elements are described below:

UI Element	Description
	Text box in which you can optionally enter text for which to search. If the specified text is found in one or more tree nodes, the text area indicates this, as shown below: In this example, 1 of 6 indicates that there are six nodes displaying the text, Welcome, and the first matching node is highlighted in the tree.
	Search. Finds the next instance that matches the criteria you specified in the Search box. Click this button to jump to each node that matches your search criteria.
	Cancel. Clears the Search for text box.
	Expand or Collapse. Shows or hides the lower part of the Search box.
Status	The status to search for. (Optional) Possible values: Passed. Searches for steps that passed and match your other selection criteria. Failed. Searches for steps that failed and match your other selection criteria. Done. Searches for steps with the status Done (steps that were performed successfully but did not receive a pass, fail, or warning status) that match your other selection criteria. Warning. Searches for steps with the status Warning (steps that did not pass, but did not cause the test to fail) that match your other selection criteria. Note: If the tree does not contain any steps that match a particular status, that option is grayed out in the Search box.
Node type	The type of node to search for (together with your other search criteria). (Optional) Possible values: Iteration. Searches for Iteration nodes that match your other selection criteria. Action. Searches for action nodes that match your other selection criteria. Step. Searches for steps that match your other selection criteria. Reporter.

Note: This is not relevant for Reporter.ReportNote steps, which are displayed in the Executive Summary page and not in the run results tree. Checkpoint/Output Value. Searches for checkpoint and output value steps that match your other selection criteria. Note: If the tree does not contain a particular node type, that option is grayed out in the Search box.
