Organizing Your Favorite Searches

Context: When you add a favorite search, the system saves the criteria locally. You can later retrieve the criteria under your name for the search. Only you can reuse the search as it is not included in the database.

Tip: You can share one or more of your favorite searches with others by saving the searches to a file and then sharing the file with others.

  1. From the Search tab, select Favorites > Add favorite.
  2. In the Add favorite dialog box, type the name for your search.

    Your entry in Name is the name that displays when you click Favorites.

  3. To see your current favorites, click More details.
  4. Optionally,
    1. In the Favorites Menu tree, select a favorite or a folder below which you want to add your favorite.
    2. Click New folder to add a new folder.

      To name the new folder, select Organize favorites from the Search menu after you have competed adding your new favorite.

    If you want to close the More details view, click Fewer details.

  5. Click OK.
    The software adds your search to the Favorites menu.

When you select your favorite search, the software displays the criteria that you originally set up when you first developed the search.
