You can run the following commands from the
Query List pane. Commands are available in both the toolbar and context menu unless noted otherwise. Note that commands, except where
noted, are available only for queries, both public and private, that you own. For example, you cannot rename a public query
owned by another user.
- Run

Results pane.
- Save

New Query N, where
N is a unique number. Use the
Rename Query command to rename the new query. See
Creating a Query.

Editing a Query.
- Rename Query

- Clone Query

By default, the cloned query is named
Copy of Query, where
Query is the name of the query you cloned. Use the
Rename Query command to rename the new query. See
Renaming a Query.
- Set up Columns
- Allows you to specify which columns (AccuWork fields) are displayed in the
Results pane for the selected query. You can optionally save selected columns as a default set to be used to display results for
any new queries you create. This command is disabled for public queries created by other users. See
Set up Columns for more information.

Query Browser.
Tip: The name of the default query is displayed in bold italics.
- Set as Public/Set as Private
- Allows you to make a private query public, and vice versa.
Note: You cannot change a public query owned by another user to private. If you want to modify a public query, you must first clone
it. See

Properties dialog box for the selected item. See

Query Diff tab. The names of the queries you are
diffing are displayed at the top of the tab. Arrows in the
Diff column indicate whether an issue was returned by the first query, the second query, or both. See
Diff vs Query to learn about comparing the results of a query against the results of an
Issue Diff operation.
