How to Create A New Application Query

Sometimes, there is not an existing query that meets your needs. In those cases, you will need to create a new application query. When creating a query, please keep in mind that there are many different ways that you can query documents using WebX. You can search for all documents, search for a specific value in one field or a combination of fields, you can search with wildcards, or you can perform range or list searches.

   2. Choose whether query is PUBLIC by putting a check in the "Available to All Users" box or PRIVATE by leaving the box un-checked.
6. Click the "SAVE" button to save the query.

NOTE: It is recommended that you save your query with your college or department name as part of the name (Ex. EDU_QueryName).
