Append stored queries

You can add, edit, or run stored queries from the Query window, which is accessible from the form in Database Manager or from the Application search form. Data entered into the from is automatically entered into the Query window to form the query. Depending on your permissions, you can edit and run that query or select a query from a list of stored queries.

Note: You must have the capability word QueryAdmin or query.stored.mod operator record to add or edit stored queries.

In this example, two stored queries for Incident Management (the probsummary file) are joined and saved.

   3. Choose Expert Search.

   For this example, select pri.1. The Stored Query record opens with additional buttons on the toolbar.

• The value in the Name field is that of the last appended or inserted stored query, pri.1.
• The value in the Query field is the new query you created. (flag=true and status#"DEADLINE" and problem.status~="Cleared" and flag=true and priority.code="1").

• For this example, enter the following information:
  • Give the query a unique Name. For this example, type pri.1&deadline.
  • Add a Description. For this example, type Priority 1 records in deadline alert.
  • Edit the Query, if necessary. For this example, delete the second and flag=true.
  • Specify any other controls you want.

  Service Manager returns you to the Query window and displays the message: “Query added to querystored file”.
