Save search as a view

Overview

Sometimes you create a search with few additional conditions and notice that you could use this same search also later.
 

Solution

You can create a new view from this search with the following procedure:

1. Do a search with additional conditions (note that quick search strings will not be part of the View) and go back to "Latest Searches" after the search has been executed.

 

2. In the "Latest Searches", select the correct Search Results, right-click it and select "Copy" (or press CTRL+C after selection). Then click the Home screen icon.

 

3. In the M-Files home screen, open Edit menu (Alt button opens the top menu) and select Paste. You can also rename the View to be more descriptive.

Note that quick search strings are not part of the View. If you have entered some search string you should get a notification like below when creating the View.
