Inserting a Persistent Query

This task explains how to insert a Persistent Query.

  • Select a Chapter, right-click and select Insert > Persistent Query.

    The filter content is dynamically inserted under the designated Chapter (i.e. the entire content resulting from the application of the filter is inserted).

    When the Catalog is opened in the future, the filter will be dynamically computed when you do manually execute the Expand command.

    The Expand All command will not apply the persistent query to the content; for branches in which persistent queries were inserted, the Expand will stop at that level. You can then manually expand those branches to get the filtered content.

    Important: You must have first created the Persistent Query when filtering a Catalog or a Chapter. See Filtering a Catalog or Chapter in the Catalog Editor.

Note: This command is not available for an Enterprise Catalog Chapter.
