Saved Searches

You can edit, copy, delete, or run saved searches.

To use the saved search functions:

  1. From the CMDB homepage toolbar, select Search | Saved.  A list of saved searches is displayed.
  2. Click on the search ID or search Name. D set of buttons is displayed below the saved search you select.
  3. Edit—Click this button to display the various tabs for this search. From there, you can edit the search criteria. Refer to Choose CI Types, Filter on Attributes, Filter on Relationships, and/or Output for details on the tabs and how to change them.
  4. Copy—If you select the Copy button, a second copy of the search is saved in which all criteria exactly duplicate the copied search. The purpose of this button is to allow you to create a search that you can then edit and refine as needed rather than rebuilding an entire search from the beginning.
  5. Delete—Click the Delete button to delete the search. When you select the Delete button, a confirmation window pops up. Click the OK button to confirm the deletion or the Cancel button to cancel the deletion.
  6. Run—Click the Run button to run the search. When you run the search, the Results page is displayed. Refer to Results for details on the Results page.
