Saved Searches are quick and easy reports generated from criteria entered on the Search Issues screen. Once saved, a Saved Search can be run any time with the most current data or delivered at regular intervals to select users via email in CSV, Excel, or HTML format as a Scheduled Report from the Reports menu.
Saved Searches may also be Shared, making them accessible to other users. However, users that are members of Internal Only Organizations or Departments can only see Shared Searches created by other users within the same Organization or Department.
