Using Q&R Query › Save a Query

Save a Query

You can save a query for reuse at a later time. You can also save a query while you are still composing it, that is, you do not have to complete the query prior to saving it. Limited validation is performed on the fields while you are entering data; full validation is done when you run the query.

The query is saved locally, at your PC. It is not managed by the Q&R Distributed Server. You select the folder you want to save it to.

A query is saved as a file with a .QRQ extension. The .QRQ file contains all the steps, tasks, and data elements you selected when composing your query. If you have created views from this query, the .QRQ file also contains the view definitions from the chart.

To save a query

1. Click the Save Query button in the toolbar at the top of the Q&R Query panel.

   The first time you save a query, the Save Query As panel appears.

2. Choose the directory and file name you want to save the query under, and click Save.

   The query is saved and you are returned to the Q&R Query panel.
