Reusing the same find request (named search)

If you often use the same search criteria, you can reuse the same find request by saving it as a named search. You can also use named searches to create reports.

1 Choose New Search from the search pop-up menu on the left side of the document window (except in Layout mode).
2 Type a name for the search and click OK.
3 Create a find request.
4 Click Store.

To use a named search:
1 If you're not already in Browse or List mode, choose Browse or List from the Layout menu.
2 Choose the named search from the search pop-up menu.

To modify a named search:
1 Choose Edit Searches from the search pop-up menu.
2 Select a search from the list, then click Modify.
3 To rename the search, type a new name, then click OK.
4 Modify the search criteria.
5 Click Store.

To delete a named search:
1 Choose Edit Searches from the search pop-up menu.
2 Select a search in the list and click Delete.
