# Saving and Reusing Board-Based Search Queries

## **Saving and Reusing Board-Based Search Queries**  
 

### 📌 **Summary**

Just like form queries, board-based search queries in Ontraccr can be saved and reused. This is ideal for teams that regularly filter boards for specific cards — such as active service requests, project tracking by customer, or cards in specific statuses.

### **💾 When to Save a Board Query**

Use a saved query when:

-   You frequently filter the same **card design** and board(s)
-   You want quick access to results for weekly or daily reviews
-   You want consistent views for common tracking workflows (e.g. overdue tickets, awarded projects, lost bids)

* * *

### **🛠 How to Save a Board Query**

1.  Open the **Boards tab** in the Advanced Search panel
2.  Click **Open Search**
3.  Click the **Edit icon (🖉)** at the top of the slider panel
4.  Name your query (e.g., `"Awarded Projects – Q3 2025"`)
5.  Click **Save**
6.  Finish setting your filter conditions and run the query

The saved query now includes both:

-   The **query name**
-   The **filter settings** you configured

### **🔁 How to Reuse a Saved Board Query**

1.  Go to the **Boards tab**
2.  At the top of the page, click the **“Select a Query”** dropdown
3.  Choose any previously saved board search

The system will:

-   Auto-fill all saved conditions
-   Immediately run the query
-   Display results grouped by board and stage

### **🧯 Notes**

-   Board queries are **saved separately** from form queries
-   Saved searches only appear in the context (tab) they were created
-   Saved queries are useful across all boards using the same card template
