The Result Sets Explorer

A Result Set is a collection of projects that have been calculated and stored in the database. You can create multiple versions of the same Result Set using Result Set Runs, which are attached to the Result Set when it is created. Once calculated and stored, the results are used for reporting. You can also export calculated data to other applications, e.g. PalantirPLAN, for further analysis and evaluation. For more information on Result Sets and Result Set Runs, see Result Sets. The Result Sets Explorer allows you to create and manage Result Sets.

If you have many Result Sets, you can locate specific items with the help of the Go To Project/Result Set tool (see Locate projects and Result Sets).
