Stored User Searches
Use the Save button to store the current search settings for a tab as a search. This creates a new command in the Start>Browse>Find submenu. This saved search can then be carried out with one simple click.
The saved searches are also available in the selection specification when creating documentation.
Each of these menu items has a context menu.
The Delete from Model command deletes the saved search from the menu. The search is then no longer available in the configuration editor or the selection specification when creating documentation.
The Edit command loads the search parameters in the Find dialog; the search can be modified and saved again here.
The dialog starter in the Start>Browse menu group opens the Manage dialog to customize the Find menu.
