### Running and Modifying a Saved Query

After a query has been saved, you can rerun it as required. You can also modify it and save it with its own name or under a different name.

To open a saved Query from SSA PDM Query:

1. Do one of the following:

- Select File in the Query Menu Bar and click Open.
- Click Open in the Query Toolbar.

2. Select the required query in the Open Query dialog box.

NOTE:

The Files of types field in the Open Query dialog box defaults to the Object type selected in the Search for: field in the query definition. You can change this in the dropdown list to choose a different type of file.
3. Click Open. The query definition is displayed in the List of Search Statements section.

To run the Query:

- Click Query Now. The SSA PDM Query retrieves the data according to your defined criteria, and displays the results in the Results Panel.

To modify a query:

1. Open the required query from the Query window.
2. Modify the query as required:

- To remove a search statement, select the statement to be removed in the List of Search Statements section, and click Remove.
- To add a search statement, see Defining a Query.
- To change an existing search statement, remove the statement, as shown above and add a new corrected search statement.

3. Click Query Now to run the modified query.

The modified query can be saved either for reuse, using the same name or with a new name. If you use the same name, the previous definition will be lost. See Saving a Query.
