Query types

The Milestone XProtect Retail application has two different types of queries: normal queries and
group by queries.

Normal queries are simple queries resulting in a set of specific transactions where each line
in the result set represents one transaction.

Group by queries are aggregated queries resulting in a set of records representing several
transactions.


A transaction line may be greyed out in the result set. There can be several reasons for this:

the Milestone surveillance system doesn’t have any video matching the transaction

the Retail System is not correctly connected to the Milestone surveillance system

no camera has been assigned to the till

Tip: You can filter out the greyed out lines by clicking in the menu View and selecting Hide

filtered rows.

Performing a Normal Query

When you perform normal queries you will see a window like this:


Every transaction is represented by a single line in the table. By clicking on a transaction line the
Milestone XProtect Retail application will show the transaction with the receipt and the matching
video (see Viewing Transactions and Video on page 10).

Note: If the Milestone XProtect Retail system is not correctly connected to the Milestone
surveillance system it is not possible to access the Video tab and clicking on a line in the result set
