Saving and loading a search criteria
You may find yourself frequently using the same type of search criterias when retrieving
assets. If so, it is inefficient to always create the search criteria from scratch. Therefore, we
recommend that you create and save a set of search criterias that you might frequently use
and load them when necessary. You may still need to specific the search terms, but you
won’t have to recreate the search criteria. Another advantage is that you will quickly be able
to mix and match search criterias in future queries.
To save and load a search criteria:
1.
Select the search criteria from the C RITERIA panel on the Search interface.
2. Click the S AVE button on the Search interface.
The L OAD A QUERY FROM DISK dialog box appears.
3. Navigate to the directory location where you would like to store the search criteria. Provide
a filename and click the S
AVE button on the L OAD A QUERY FROM DISK dialog box. The
search criteria is saved as a query with a .qry file extension. A S AVE dialog box appears
to confirm that the Query (search criteria) was saved successfully. Click OK.
To load a saved search criteria:
1.
Click the L OAD button on the Search interface.
The L OAD A QUERY FROM DISK dialog box appears.
2. Navigate to the directory location where the query file (.qry)is stored. Select the
desired query file and click the O
PEN button on the L OAD A QUERY FROM DISK dialog box.
The query (search criteria) is added to the C RITERIA panel on the Search tool’s interface.
