Creating a Specification Search Directly as a Query

Use

You can create specification searches, however complex they are, as queries immediately after they have been executed and execute them again as often as required. The search can also contain executed queries, loaded sets of hits, and where-used lists for specifications.

Caution

Selections of individual specifications in the hit list are generally lost if you create the search as a query. This has the following effects:

Where-used lists for specifications are executed for all specifications in the hit list when you execute the query.

Sets of hits reduced manually contained in the search are lost and are not taken into account when the query is executed.

Prerequisites

You have change authorization for the query group in which you want to create the query.

You have run a specification search or loaded a set of hits and are located on the hit list screen.

Procedure

Choose one of the following paths:

Utilities ® Display search history

Utilities ® Query ® Save

A screen appears that displays the step overview of the search history.

Save your entries.

The Save Query: Create dialog box appears.

Enter data as required. To enter the key for the query in the Grp entry field, you can choose one of the following options:

Enter a new key manually and create a new query.
Choose an existing query using the input help. This is then overwritten.

Save and confirm your entries.

Result

The screen that displays the step overview of the search history appears again. Go back to return to the hit list.

Note

You can also create a query step by step in a tree structure (see Creating and Editing Queries).
