About Using Default Queries

When you navigate to a screen, the records that appear depend on the default query set up for that screen. You can specify a different default query in your user preferences. If no default query is set up, then the first predefined query in the drop-down list for the Saved Queries field executes. For more information, see "Setting Up Default Queries".

Note: You cannot set up a blank query as the default. Also, you cannot set your user preferences so that no query executes when you navigate to a screen.

If you set up a default query for the view associated with a visibility filter, then the query executes only if you access that view using the Site Map link. Using the visibility filter to access that filter's default query fails. If the visibility filter is set up as the default view for that screen, then clicking the screen tab executes the default query for the filter.
