A browse query is a method you can use to select a sub-set of the information that appears in the browse list box. For example, when you open the Main Archive Object browse, all of the Objects will appear in the list box (one page at a time). Suppose you wanted to see only the Objects that have a Description that contains the word Beatles... you can create a query that does just that.

 

 

Steps:

 

1. Insert a new query line.

2. Pull down the field box and select the Description Abstract field.

3. Pull down the Operator box and select the operator called Contains.

4. Type what you care looking for (in this case, Beatles) in the value column.

5. Click the OK button.

 

The browse list box will now only contain Objects that match your query.

 

You can click on the Query button again and click on the Saved Queries tab at the top, then enter a name for this query and save it for future re-use.

 

You can also click on the Clear button on the Query Settings tab to see all of the Objects once again.

 

You can create multi-line queries by inserting new lines and repeating steps 2, 3, and 4.

 

Query parameters are stored in the application's INI file in the application's installation folder.
