Managing Queries

Once you start working with Axonius, you might find yourself creating a large number of queries. The folder pane on the left side of the Queries page allows you to easily manage your queries.

Click the left arrow next to Search Folders to collapse the folder pane. This is only visible when you mouse over the pane.

Click the right arrow to expand the folder pane.

Queries are arranged into folders. Folders with subfolders can be expanded and collapsed by clicking the arrows next to the folder name.

The following folders are created by default:

• All Queries - The All Queries folder shows all queries in the system that you're authorized to see. Each query must be saved to a folder. Note that you cannot save a query directly to the All Queries folder, only to a subfolder.

• Predefined Queries - The system comes with a set of predefined queries in the Predefined Queries folder. These queries cannot be edited or deleted from the system, and you can't save new queries to the Predefined Queries folder.

• Shared Queries - This is a system folder. You can save queries here and create new folders in this folder. The Shared Queries folder includes public queries and is set as a default folder when you save a new query. You can create up to 5 levels of folders.

• My Private Queries - This is a system folder. You can save queries here and create new folders in this folder. The My Private Queries folder contains queries that are accessible by you only and is set as a default folder when you save a new query. You can create up to 5 levels of folders.

Folders can be expanded and collapsed by clicking the arrows next to the folder name. If a folder does not contain a subfolder, no arrow is shown.

You can move folders by drag and drop. If a private folder is moved into a public folder, all the queries in the private folder will become public.
