Running a saved search

This procedure describes how to rerun a search that you have previously saved. When you rerun the search, the search uses the same parameters but returns updated results.

To run a saved search:

  1. Do one of the following, depending on your WDK-based application:

    • In the banner at the top of the Webtop page, click Advanced.

    • In the left pane, click Advanced Search.

  2. Select one of the following tabs:

    • My Saved Searches

      Select this tab to run a search that you have saved in the repository you are currently viewing.

    • All Saved Searches

      Select this tab to run all end-user saved searches to which you have at least Read permissions. These searches may have been saved into any other repository that you may be currently not viewing.

  3. If you have selected All Saved Searches, select the repository in which the search is saved.

  4. To modify the search parameters before running the search, click Edit on the search’s line item.

    Revising a saved search opens up the general tab of the advanced search screen with all the parameters pre-filled for that saved search. Make your changes and click Search.

    The changes will be used for running this saved search, unless you specify they should be saved permanently. Click Save Search to save the new search.

  5. On the search’s line item, click Search to display the results of the search.

  6. If Webtop requires you to enter credentials for a search source, do so.

  7. After the search results appear, you can do the following:

    • To run the search again with modified search parameters, click Edit Search. Revise this search opens up the general tab of the advanced search screen with all the parameters pre-filled for that saved search.

    • For both My Saved Searches and All Saved Searches, you can change the repository.

    • To save the search, click Save Search. See Saving a search.
