Saved Searches
Saved searches provide a flexible way of extending the browsing capabilities
of the Explorer screen by allowing you to create "virtual" job queues.
By default, the Explorer provides built-in "searches" for both Open and
Closed jobs that are assigned to you, or have been closed by you. A saved
search allows you to choose what type of jobs you are interested in and then
provide a virtual queue to view them. There is no limit to the number of
saved searches that you can create.
Saved searches are a great way to organize your job queue into separate
"virtual" queues that you can work from. They can also be used as the
filter for job reporting.
Creating a new Saved Search
- Open the Explorer
- Right-click on the "Saved Searches" item in the "My Jobs"
Explorer Panel and select "Create Saved Search"

- Now use the rest of the tabs on the job finder to select the search criteria for the
jobs that you want to create a saved search for.

name the search.
