Queries

You can use the Queries feature to query model and equipment data. These queries may be user-defined queries for your own personal use, queries shared with your project team, and system-supplied queries that are available to everyone.

Queries can be edited, exported, and reimported using the Query Builder.

Layout and Settings

The Queries page is divided into two sections, the Queries panel, and the Content panel. For example,

Queries Panel

The Queries panel appears along the left side. It lists all available data queries for the current user:
  • My Queries ? User-defined queries only available to the current user. Queries in this section can be promoted to Shared Queries in order to be shared with members of your project team.
  • Shared Queries ? Data queries that are available to all members of your project team. These queries can be queries that were created by you, or other project members.
  • Default Queries ? Predefined data queries that are available to all users, such as equipment lists, instrument lists, and an “All Data” query. Default queries cannot be deleted, renamed or promoted, however, you can use any default query as the basis for your own personal query, by applying filters to it via the Query Builder, and then saving the results as your own query.

Content Panel

The Content panel appears to the right of the Queries panel. This panel displays the Query Builder, and query results for the currently selected query. For example,
