Version 1.7.0 delivers critical bug fixes, powerful new user/group filtering capabilities, and enhanced conversation analysis features for the Portable Audit eXporter (PAX). This release resolves PowerShell type ambiguity issues, introduces flexible filtering options for user-specific analysis, and provides granular control over conversation turn isolation.

Key Highlights

New User and Group Filtering

• UserIds Parameter: Filter audit logs to specific user identifiers
• Live mode: Server-side filtering at Purview (efficient, no unnecessary data transfer)
• Replay mode: Client-side filtering from AuditData JSON
• Supports single or multiple users: -UserIds "user@contoso.com" or -UserIds "user1@contoso.com","user2@contoso.com"
• GroupNames Parameter: Filter to members of distribution or security groups (Live mode only)
• Automatic group expansion using Get-DistributionGroupMember
• Supports multiple groups: -GroupNames "Executive Team","Engineering Managers"
• Can be combined with UserIds for comprehensive targeting

Enhanced Conversation Filtering

• PromptFilter Feature: Three-mode system for conversation turn analysis
• Prompt: Isolate user prompts for input analysis
• Response: Isolate Copilot responses for output analysis
• Both: Include only conversation turns with explicit prompt/response indicators
• Null: Include only turns where isPrompt is undefined
• Uses two-stage filtering (pre-explosion + during explosion) for optimal performance
• ExcludeAgents Switch: Filter out agent-based interactions for cleaner datasets
• Inverse of -AgentsOnly for flexible workflow design
• Useful for focusing on non-agent Copilot interactions

Critical Bug Fixes

• Fixed PowerShell type ambiguity errors that caused script failures when combining multiple filter switches (e.g., UserIds + AgentsOnly)
• Resolved variable name collisions between progress tracking and elapsed time calculations in all filtering sections
• Added explicit [int] type casts throughout filtering logic to prevent "ambiguous overloads" errors
• Fixed blank Message_isPrompt values appearing in output data

Reporting Improvements

• Explosion metrics now clearly differentiate between:
• Multi-row records (conversation threads with multiple turns)
• Single-row records (standalone interactions)
• Total records processed
• Enhanced filter display to show UserIds and GroupNames in execution summary
• Better visibility into data transformation during array explosion
