# Saved queries

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** → **Saved Queries**  (or go to **Setup** → **Data Watcher section** → **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](/data-watcher-1.21/troubleshooting/how-to-run-searches-in-data-watcher.md) 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.
