Saving and loading queries

Keep a library of common queries​

After creating a query in the Data Explorer, you can save it for future use. Anyone in your Alloy customer project can then load your saved query to perform it again.

Save a query​

To save the current query, select Menu (bottom-right) and choose Save query .

To overwrite an existing query, disable Save as new query, select Overwrite query and choose one from the list. Alternatively, enable Save as new query.

Enter a Name and then select Save to finish.
