Saving and retrieving search criteria

If the map administrator has enabled this feature, you can specify criteria for a search and save it to run a search with that criteria at a later time. This feature is particularly useful in searches containing many fields. In addition, if your administrator has enabled profiles, any search criteria you save are automatically associated with your profile. If you do not create a profile, any search criteria you save is associated with the default profile, which is visible to everyone. See Creating profiles for more information.

1.	On the task bar, hover over the Searches menu and select the search you want to use.

2.	In the search window, specify the criteria you want.

3.	Click the Save button.
