What this is
A saved search remembers a report’s date range and filters under a name, so you reload the same view in one click instead of setting it up again. Every EPP report has a saved-search bar across the top.
Save a search
- Open a report and set the date range and filters you want.
- On the saved-search bar, open the Saved searches dropdown and choose Save current search.
- Give it a name: Cloudby suggests one from the date period: and save.
Load a saved search
- Use a starred quick-load button on the bar, or
- open the Saved searches dropdown and pick the one you want. The report re-runs with those filters.
Star your favourites
Star a saved search to pin it: starred searches rise to the top of every list and appear as quick-load buttons directly on the report bar, so your most-used views are one tap away.
Manage them from the Workplace
- Go to Workplace > My Saved Searches.
- You see every saved search across all reports, each labelled with its report (for example Finance · Trial Balance).
- From here you can load, rename, duplicate, delete or star any of them.
Share a search by link
- Set up the query you want on the report.
- Click the link icon on the bar to copy a shareable URL.
- Send it to a colleague: opening it loads the report with the same filters already applied.
Customise the filter fields
- Click the cog icon on the bar to open the settings dialog.
- On the Filter fields tab, tick which fields are visible and drag them into the order you prefer.
- The last remaining field is kept on so a report always has at least one filter.
Good to know. Saved searches are per user, per organisation and per report: they are private to you and never shared between organisations. They work on standard reports; the matrix report is not covered.
