=== Save a query
|
||
|
||
Have you ever built a query that you wanted to reuse?
|
||
With saved queries, you can save your query text, filters, and time range for
|
||
reuse anywhere a query bar is present.
|
||
|
||
For example, suppose you're in *Discover*, and you've put time into building
|
||
a query that includes query input text, multiple filters, and a specific time range.
|
||
Save this query, and you can embed the search results in dashboards,
|
||
use them as a foundation for building a visualization,
|
||
and share them in a link or CVS form.

|

|
||
|
||
Saved queries are different than <<save-open-search,saved searches>>,
|
||
which include the *Discover* configuration—selected columns in the document table, sort order, and
|
||
index pattern—in addition to the query.
|
||
Saved searches are primarily used for adding search results to a dashboard.

==== Read-only access
|
||

|
||
. Enter a unique name to identify the query and an optional description that will appear in a tooltip in the saved query popover.
|
||
. Choose whether to include or exclude filters and a time range.
|
||
By default, filters are automatically included, but the time filter is not.
