Create a work queue query

In addition to the work queue queries provided with TotalAgility Workspace, you can create custom queries.

  1. On the To Do menu, click Work Queue or click on the header.

    A list of all private (My Queries) and shared queries (Shared Queries) appears on the Work Queue page.

  2. On the queries panel, click n.

    The search criteria for the work queue appears on the right side of the query panel.

  3. Enter a name for your query in the Query Name box.
  4. To view the total number of items matching the query, select Return Query Total.

    The count of items are displayed in a badge beside the query name. The count is the total number of items regardless of the retrieval limit specified in the query.

    If you turn this setting on, there will be a performance overhead.

  5. Select the CRITERIA for your query.

    The following table describes the work queue fields available as search criteria.
