Share My Searches with collaborators

[Lien Deboosere]

Hello,

Is there an easy way to share my personal Searches based on SQL queries with collaborators working on the same project (i.e. on a shared database) ?
For now, I just found the export - import of the search to an XML file. That seems not so convenient to share it with all collaborators.
Is there a way these searches can be stored on the project database?

Thanks a lot,

Lien

Lien,

You can't store them in the database, but you can share with with an MDG.
The MDG file could be stored on a network drive so all users always have the same searches.

Thanks for the tip, Geert !
I will have to dig into that to see how it works.

IIRC it's some manual work with editing the MDG file an copying the exported search into it. It has been discussed here, but finding things in this YABB can be a PITA

These days, the technology wizard will do it all for you. Just tick the "Searches" checkbox and you will be presented with all your saved searches to choose from.
