Building Queries in the Operation Mode

In certain systems it may be necessary for the users to build and run their own queries rather than run pre-configured queries. The functionality of building queries dynamically in the Operation Mode is available from operations of the “Manage Queries” and “Run User Defined Queries” types – see Operations.

The process of building a query in the Operation Mode is divided into several steps. For each step Aware IM shows the appropriate screen. It is possible to move forward and backwards between the steps. The parameters of a query that need to be specified during these steps are very similar to those specified when a query is defined in the Configuration Mode – see Adding/Editing Queries. After all steps have been accomplished the built query is run and the found instances of the business objects are displayed.

Note that the query built in this way does not become part of the system configuration – however, it is accessible to end users of the system. Usually a system administrator would build such queries before other users start working with the system.
