Query Window: General Tab

Add Query Group

The Add Query Group dialog is accessed from the General tab of the Query Window, when you click on any of the Group fields and choose <Add New...>.  It allows you to add a new group for the current query.  The group or groups that a query belongs to determines where it will appear in the menu that is displayed when you click on the Query button  on the main application toolbar.

It is possible to organise your queries into sub-groups of arbitrary complexity.  Use a vertical bar to separate sub-groups.  Suppose, for example you have a query called "Male Deaths" and you add the following group name for it:  "Analysis | Males | Deaths".  When you click on the Query button, the dropdown menu that appears will now have a submenu called 'Analysis', which in turn will have a submenu called 'Males', which in turn will have a submenu called 'Deaths', which will contain your "Male Deaths" query.

New groups are automatically added to the dropdown menu that appears when you click on any group field.  A group name automatically disappears when there are no longer any queries belonging to that group.

It is possible to modify the groups associated with standard queries.  Be aware if you do this, however that standard queries may revert to their default groups when you apply an upgrade in the future.  You can, at that point, re-apply your changes if you wish to do so.

Group names may not begin with a '.' and may not contain any of the characters: \/:*?\"<>
