6 Working with Libraries

Argus Insight provides a library that serves as a repository for all queries. This library, called the Query library, contains all the saved queries performed using QBEs, filters, and advanced conditions.

In addition, from the Associated Reports library, you can search for queries or case series that have a report associated with them.

This chapter includes the following topics:
