Viewing Results Records

Click the Display icon of a results set in the search history window to view the result records. OvidSP opens the set in the Record Titles Display.

Each record titles display has three basic components:

	Search Aids Tool shows terms used for search and highlights them in the record titles display. Click here for further details.
	Titles Display lists citations of records from the results set of the search history.
	Results Manager manages records in the display for output: Display, Print Preview, Email, Save, and Order. It displays the specified results, fields, format and sort keys.


	The Results Manager is displayed both above and below the Results Set area in a panel, and both instances can be minimized. It may be customized where you want it displayed. By default, Results Manager is closed. OvidSP will remember your preference if you are logged in your Personal Account.
	Only the records from Basic Search results get relevancy ranked.
