After you create a filter, the filter criteria appear in the box to the left of the button. See Constructing a Filter for Query Results for more information. Query Click Query when you are ready to submit your query. Save Query As Click Save Query As to save your query to run again later. Enter the name of the saved query in the Save query as field, then click Save. Saved Queries Click Saved Queries to view or run previously saved queries. You can also delete saved queries. To run a previously saved query, select the row that contains the query you want to run and click Select, or double-click the row. The Saved Queries option is only available if you have previously saved queries. Edit After executing a query, select an object from the Results list and click Edit to edit an object in the list of query results. Not all repository objects can be edited from the results list for example, privilege objects and user database sign-on objects. If an object cannot be edited from the results list, Edit is not available. Delete After executing a query, select one or more objects in the Results list and click Delete to delete the objects. After you confirm the deletion, the objects are deleted from your metadata repository. New Use this option to create new repository objects. First, select the type of object you want to create from the Type list, then click New. This option is not available when All Types is selected. The dialogs that appear depend on the object type that you select. For more information, refer to the sections that describe how to create that object. Note that if you choose to create a new logical dimension, you must choose whether to create a dimension with a level-based hierarchy, or a parent-child-hierarchy. Similarly, if you choose to create a new Oracle OLAP hierarchy, you must select whether you want to create a level-based or value-based hierarchy. Show Parent After executing a query, select an object in the Results list and click Show Parent to view the parent hierarchy of an object. If the object does not have a parent, a message appears. You cannot use Show Parent with users or application roles. In the Parent Hierarchy dialog, you can edit or delete objects. Note that if you delete an object from this dialog, any child objects of the selected object are also deleted. Mark After executing a query, select one or more objects in the Results list and click Mark to mark the selected objects. To unmark the objects, select them and click Mark again. Marking objects makes them easier to visually identify as you develop metadata. Set Icon After executing a query, select one or more objects in the Results list and click Set Icon to select a different icon for the objects. You can set special icons for objects to help visually identify them as having common characteristics. For example, you might want to pick a special icon to identify columns that will be used only by a certain user group. To change the icons back to the original icons, select the objects and click Set Icon again. Then, select Remove associated icon and click OK. GoTo After executing a query, select one or more objects in the Results list and click GoTo to go to the objects in the Administration Tool view of the repository. The selected objects appear highlighted in the Physical, Business Model and Mapping, or Presentation layer. Note that the Query Repository dialog closes when you choose this option. Save After executing a query, click Save to save query results to an external file. Then, in the Save As dialog, provide a name, file type, and encoding value for the file, then click Save.
