Using job queries

Queries can be created in the ArcGIS Workflow Manager extension for Desktop client application by users with the Privilege to ManageQuery.

The following actions can be performed on a user query in the application by right-clicking a desired query. From the menu, select the action you want to perform.

• View Query
• Edit Query
• Delete Query
• Export Results to CSV

Queries that are created in the Workflow Manager Administrator can only be viewed and exported to CSV from the client application.

View Query

You can view the query definition of any query that's available in the application. Previewing an existing query allows you to get a better understanding of what the query does and how it was defined. For example, you can use existing queries as a basis for defining new ones.

Edit Query

User queries can be modified after they have been created. Users with the appropriate privileges can create queries in the client application. These queries can be refined at a later time to suit your needs.

Note that only "user queries" are editable in the application. The Workflow Manager Administrator can be used to define public queries.

Delete Query

User queries can be deleted when they are no longer relevant.

Export Results to CSV

Query results can be exported to CSV format. This allows you to share the results of a job query with other users that do not have Workflow Manager. For example, you can send the resulting .csv file via email, and they can open it in Excel or a text editor to view the contents.
