Details returned include:

Management Chain and Multiple Copy Features

With a right-click menu pop-up, you can get additional details on the user and his/her management chain as well as copy lists in several formats for pasting into other tools. You can always copy data from the result grid by selecting the cell(s) and using Ctrl+C.

Link to Your Organization's Online Directory

Using Settings → Configure Online Directory Link Format, you can enable linking into your organization's online user directory. This is especially handy if your organization doesn't keep a fully populated directory listing (such as a management tree). The directory just needs to have a configurable search URL!
