Managing Stored Searches
Use the Stored Search activities (36.4.8.7) to manage stored searches created by users from various component-based browses Each user can create stored searches so that they can quickly find records they want to view or update. Depending on the user’s access, searches can be saved at three levels:
• For the individual user
• For all users assigned to a role
• For all users in the system
For more information on stored searches, see Introduction to QAD Enterprise Applications User Guide.
From the system administrative point of view, you can use the maintenance functions to:
• View stored search records that have been created by users.
• Delete stored search results. This might be necessary if a user leaves the company or a role is made obsolete.
Note: Exporting stored search values is not currently implemented.
The system loads search and browse defaults during installation. Factory defaults display as a type of stored search, along with the last used customized settings. Use Export Browse Defaults to export default search and display settings into a FactoryDefaults.xml file. The system saves the file in the same folder that contains other QAD financial business logic.
