Using Default Queries

When you navigate to any new screen, the records that appear are based on the default query set up for that screen. You can specify a different default query from the User Preferences screen. If there is no default query set up, the first predefined query in the Queries drop-down list will execute.

NOTE:  You cannot indicate a blank query as the default. There is no way to set user preferences so that no query is executed when you navigate to a new screen.

If you have set up a default query for a visibility filter, it will only be executed if you access that view using the Site Map link. Using the visibility filter to access that filter's default query will fail. If the visibility filter in question has been set up as the default view for that screen, clicking the screen tab will execute the default query for the filter.
