Creating a Query
You can use the procedure described in this section to create a query from either the New Query tab or the Query Editor. The query building tools are the same in both of these interfaces.

Click here to add link.
AccuWork displays a template for the clause. Use the list to choose the issue field you want to use to construct your first clause:
Tip: Each time you click Click here to add, a new Click here to add link is added so that one is always available at each level of the query. -
Use the template to create the simple and compound clauses you want for your query. See
Working with the Query Builder.
Note: Simple clauses at the top level of the query use AND together by default. Meaning: an issue in the depot must satisfy all of the clauses you specify in order to be returned by the query.

New Query tab, click the
Run button
. Results are displayed in the
