Saved queries
The Saved queries functionality is useful if you frequently use a certain set of filters inside the topic feed, or if you make additional searches and would like to keep track of the dynamics of this filter state. You can save and use in the future any combination of filter states in the filter panel and keyword search results in the topic/topics. You can use saved queries both independently and with colleagues in your account. If you create a public saved query, it will be available to all users of your account. Saved queries can also be used to set up alerts and send reports.
To create a saved query, select the desired topic(s) or tag(s), select the necessary filters in the filter panel and/or search for the desired keywords. Open the menu of saved queries, enter its name and save.
