Saving search queries

You can save a search query by bookmarking the search results page in your browser. You can use the bookmark to quickly run the search again without needing to enter all the search criteria again.

Bookmarking the page saves the search parameters you used for the search. Each time you open the bookmark, the same search automatically runs again.

Note: Since the search runs each time you open the bookmark, the results update each time.

For example, you save a search for objects modified in the last 7 days. On the day you open the bookmark, the results show the objects modified in the 7 days before that day.

Editing saved queries

The criteria for your search is embedded in the URL. You can modify your search by editing the URL for your bookmark and saving the changes. However, it is probably faster to run a different search and bookmark the page.

Sharing saved queries

You can also copy the URL for the bookmark and share it with others. The saved query automatically runs for when they open the link. However, they may need to sign-in to CCMS Web first.

Note: Searches that reference "the user" (such as Checked out by Me or Last checked in by Me) actually use the ID of the user who is running the search. So if Dan shares his search for objects Last checked in by Me with Ahmed, it finds objects last modified by Dan.

In IXIASOFT Dynamic Release Management (DRM) deployments, any rules around Content Level Security still apply when sharing saved queries. Users can see only the objects that they are allowed to see.
