This page describes how to save a search for data (collections or files) in DME.

To save a search:

  1. Perform a search as described in Searching for Data via the GUI. The search results page appears. 

    The Collection Search Results page.

  2. If you want to omit some columns from the results:
    1. In the upper-right corner of the results table, click the menu icon.
      The menu in the upper right corner of detailed search results list.
    2. Under Columns, click the name of each column you want to omit. An X appears next to that column name. (If you change your mind, click the column name again. A check mark appears next to that column name.)
    3. To hide all columns except Path and actions, select Hide All Columns. (To show all columns, select Show All Columns.)
  3. Click Save Search Criteria. The Save Search Criteria dialog box appears. 

    The Save Search Criteria dialog box.

  4. Specify a name for your search. Keep in mind the following points:
    • The system allows underscore (_), dash (-), and spaces, but no other special characters.
    • If you edited a previously-saved search and save it again with the same name, the system replaces the existing saved search.
  5. Select an Auto Run Frequency:
    • To automatically run this search and receive an export of the results by email, select Monthly or Weekly.
    • To stop receiving automatic exports, select None.
  6. Click Save. The system adds your saved search to the Dashboard (or updates your existing search).
