Overview of creating a query in the Design tab
After you add a query file to a project, the Query Designer appears. You can define the query in the Design tab.
Note:  
By default, the query designer notifies errors at table level for Inputs and Pattern sections before entering data. After entering data, if there are errors in any section, the errors are notified at the table level as well as row level of the table where there is an error.
Before you can define a query, you must define the events that you want the query to process. For information on how to write the event definitions, see Overview of query application components.
To defining a query in the Design tab of Query Designer
1. In the Inputs pane, click the plus sign to add an event type definition that you want the query to process. You must add one or more inputs before you can create the event pattern you are interested in. See Adding query inputs .
2. Optionally, in the Parameters pane, click the plus sign to add a query parameter. See Adding query parameters .
3. From the event Palette, select an input event and drag it onto the pattern canvas. See Adding query patterns.
4. In the Actions pane, click the plus sign to define an action that the query executes when it finds the specified event pattern. See Adding query actions .
5. Optionally, In the Conditions pane, click the plus sign to add a filter, time constraint or exclusion. Conditions let you identify the exact events you are interested in. You must add one or more inputs before you can add query conditions. See Adding query conditions .
6. Optionally, in the Aggregates pane, click the plus sign to add an aggregate expression to the find pattern. An aggregate expression aggregates event field values in order to find data based on many sets of events. See Adding query aggregates.
At any time, you can click the Source tab to view the code that defines your query.
