Copying Queries

If you need a query that is similar to one already created, you can copy the existing query then edit it to include/remove query elements.  For instance, you have a query which asks for courses between two dates for a specific coordinator.  You also need a query which asks for courses between two dates for a specific department.  You may copy the dates/coordinator query then change the coordinator field to department.  This is often quicker and easier than creating a new query.  

To copy an existing query:  

  1. Highlight the query you want to copy in the Query List Manager.  
  2. Click the Copy button.  
  3. Enter a name for the new query then click the OK button.

The new query is added to the Query List Manager window.  You can now edit the query elements.
