From the Advanced Condition dialog box, you can save and retrieve sets of search criteria (advanced conditions) and add, edit, or delete them. Access rights and permissions can be assigned to individual advanced conditions. You can execute and modify rights to one or more groups on a per-advanced condition basis.

Select New or None from the drop-down list and click the AC button to create a new advanced condition.
You can choose and rename a query set on the Advanced Condition screen. However, the rename function is restricted to users who have permission to modify the advanced condition.

Only XLS or Text Files are supported for Importing cases as a Hit List.
When you upload a text file, each line in the file is considered a complete case number.
When you click Import, the system enables you to browse to the file.
If a case is missing (cannot be found), the system displays the following message:
Case Number: XXXX is not found
If a case has been deleted, the system displays the following message:
Case Number: XXXX is deleted.
If there are multiple missing or unfound cases, the system displays all of them in the message dialog box.

After the system creates the Hit List, the user clicks Store Hit List. This system saves the advanced condition and stores the hit list so you can retrieve it for later use.
When you click Hit List, the system displays the cases in the hit list, and all other data and options, on the Case Open screen for further processing
