Specify a Default Search

CA APM lets you specify a search that you frequently use as the default each time you click a tab or subtab. For example, to find the contact search you click Directory, Contact. You copy the contact search, rename it, and then set it as your default. The next time you access the Contact Search page, the default search appears instead of the previous search.

Note: You cannot specify a search as the default when the search does not have a selectable column in the results.

To specify a default search

1. Click the tab and optional subtab for the object that you want to find.
2. On the left, click Manage Searches.

   A list of saved searches displays.

3. Click a search in the list.
4. Click Set As Default.
5. Click Save.

   The search is saved as the default.
