Saved search

This section discusses the saved search attribute available in the Device Search feature.

Use this when you want to reuse a search you run frequently, instead of rebuilding the criteria each time.

Saved searches are groups of search parameters for searches that run continuously to meet the search criteria in a drop-down list. They are an efficient way to save time and typing on searches you run frequently. There are two types of saved searches:

• Private — makes the search visible only to you.
• Public — makes the search visible to everyone.

Use a saved search

1

Select a saved search

Select a saved search from the drop-down and click Go to view the desired search result in the Device Search screen.

2

Adjust the search, if needed

On selecting a saved search from the drop-down, the Search Criteria section auto-populates the existing search. You can add, update, or edit the search by adding more attributes, hierarchies, or groups. You can also edit the name of the search and make it Private or Public — editing the name does not create a new saved search, it relabels the existing one.

3

Save your changes

Click Save to update the saved search. The Save button only activates when you edit or update the search's attributes, hierarchies, groups, name, or visibility. Selecting Apply Filter before saving will display only the filtered result.

Guidelines

• You can delete a saved search, or copy a saved search and save it under a new name.
