Save Searches

A search is saved and stored in the manage queries panel and the load saved query section. Manage Queries panel is used for retrieval and editing purposes; the Load Saved Query stores the first ten saved searches created by a user. It displays the searches in a drop list, the searches are used as a time-saver for retrieving and excecuting specific searches. Manage Queries and Load Save Query are in the Existing Queries section of the find data panel.

  1. Create a query.
  2. Navigate to the "SAVE QUERY AS" section of the panel, enter and define a name for your search within the textbox.
  3. Save the search by clicking on the Save button.
  4. A successful save will return a message in the lower right corner, “Success: Query was successfully saved."

The save query textbox can hold up to 230 characters; be mindful of saving a query with reasonable character lengths. A lengthy query name can affect the visibility of the edit functions. There is an auto-complete feature that activates when a user begins entering characters in the save query as section.

When saving a search remember to define a name thats unique; if there is a duplicate name a message will appear stating that the query with following name already exists; and informs the user that continuing the save will overwrite the existing query. If Cancel is selected the original query will remain.

How to Run a Saved Query

Load Saved Query is a droplist of user-based queries. When a saved search is selected, the criteria setup will be exposed in the "Select Data", "Select Location" (optional), or auto-refresh (optional) sections. When an auto-refresh is applied to a search, as an indicator of the refresh mechanism the grid displays the keyword "Working..." with a refresh icon in blue in the middle of the map between timed intervals. Also, the query name will appear in the "SAVE QUERY AS" section of the panel.
