Displaying DICOM tag values in the search results

Sometimes, the search engine does not evaluate all the search conditions, resulting in missing columns.  Or you may want to display additional columns for other DICOM tags.  To do that, click on the Add columns to search results button.

By adjusting the Path level value, you can change where the files are copied to.  In the above example, we select a path level of 1.  This means we use the last path value from the source file and add it to our export folder.

 

When we select a path level value of 2, we use the last 2 path values from the source file names.
