Saved queries πŸš€

Useful and most used search queries can be saved to make them easily reusable at any time. Saved queries can also be shared with other users.

To save a query go to Setup β†’ Saved Queries (or go to Setup β†’ Data Watcher section β†’ Saved Queries when Data Watcher is in a bundle with Data Mover) and follow these steps:

  1. Click on the NEW button.

  2. In the New query window, fill in these fields:

    1. Name: assign a name for your query. This name will appear in the Applied query field and in the Queries list, so we suggest you give it a name that is easy to remember. The maximum number of characters is 128, blanks are not allowed. E.g., SourceSFTPactor.

    2. Content: create the query string according to the Data Watcher Query Language (DWQL) instructions that you can find on the How to run searches in Data Watcher page. Note that the maximum number of characters is 500. E.g. sftp_actor[source].

    3. Sharing level:

      • PRIVATE: the saved query is accessible only to its owner/creator.

      • PUBLIC: the saved query is accessible to every authenticated user.

      • LIMITED: the saved query is accessible to a limited group of users and/or groups, which can be selected in the drop-down lists of the Limit access to box.

  3. Click the SAVE button.

The query is now saved and will appear on the Saved Queries home page.

Clicking the 3-dots icon on the right of the row, you can:

  • Run the query in the Dataflow Inquiry search bar.

  • Copy the content of the query to your clipboard.

  • Open the Edit query window to change the details of your query.

  • Delete the query.

In the Filters panel on the right, you can filter results by:

  • Name

  • Owner

  • Sharing level

Queries in the Saved Queries section of Data Watcher can be run directly by clicking the Run menu. Results will be listed in the Inquiry search bar.
