Saving a Search

Top  Previous  Next

Prime offers the facility to save searches.  This can be useful if a standard search needs to be carried out frequently, or if a search is particularly complex or time-consuming to build.  (HINT: To enable the easy retrieval of saved searches, create a dedicated "Search" folder in which to save all Prime searches).

 

1.Build a search.
2.Run the search by clicking Search Now or the search now icon on the Tool Bar.  This is to ensure that the search has been built correctly and returns appropriate results.
3.Click the Save search icon (Save Search) on the Tool Bar.
4.On the subsequent "Save Search Criteria" screen, navigate to the location in which the search is to be saved, and input a file name.  (NOTE: "Save as type" automatically defaults to 'Prime Search Files'.  If this is altered, it will subsequently be impossible to load the search).
5.Click Save.
