Using Ad-Hoc Queries, & Copying Queries Between Reports and Recipient Groups

It is often easier to develop a query using the Ad-Hoc query tool and then when finished, copy the query to reporting or any other area using queries such as Reports or Recipient Groups.

Ad-Hoc Query Files

If you receive an Ad-Hoc query file (ending in xdq), first save the file locally.

In Gnosis, open an ad-hoc query from the navigation panel (1) and click on the split part of the Load/New button (2), then navigate to the saved query file to open it.

Here you can proceed with running and or editing the query by toggling between Run Query/Modify Query (3).

To send someone an ad-hoc query file, use Save Query dropdown button to save locally.

Copying Queries Between Areas

To copy a query between areas, you can use the provided copy-and-paste buttons on the user interface.  

The copy/paste buttons are located as shown below in Ad-Hoc queries and reporting:
