My Favorite Searches
Have a component search you use every week? Save an extra step and favorite frequent component searches. Favorited searches will then appear in My Favorites Searches under Favorites.
Users with saved component searches can also organize their favorite searches using the My Favorite Searches. Clicking on a saved search in My Favorite Searches launches the component and executes the search.
Disable Emails for Empty Queries
Users scheduling queries and distributing query results by email can check the Suppress Empty Result checkbox under Distribution Detail when scheduling to prevent an email message from being sent if a query returns no results.
When this checkbox is not selected, an email is sent with a subject of "No matching rows were found." The Suppress Empty Result checkbox is unchecked by default.
