Queries are a convenient tool which allows users to create, save, and run bug filters, thus viewing the bugs, which meet the specified criteria - for example, critical bugs submitted today.

Queries work as Boolean expressions and support three most common logic operators AND, OR, and NOT. The queries are built and modified in the Query Builder. See the details in the Query Builder section.

Deskzilla is installed with several default sample queries, which can be removed if necessary.

To run the query, double-click the query name in the navigation pane or select it and click the Run Query button in the Application Toolbar.

After the query is ran once next to the query for the first time the number of bugs which this query selects is shown in blue next to the query . Queries which return empty results are grayed out Image Added.
