Using Saved Searches
You can save a search criteria for tasks and reuse the saved searches in Business Console or My webMethods.
In Business Console, the functionality to create, modify, delete, and reuse public and private task searches is available in the task lists viewed through Work Stream, My Inbox, or a custom inbox.
A private saved search is available only to the user who created the saved search. Public saved searches are available to all Task Engine users. A saved search can be made available in the task list of a specific task type or in all task lists.
Saved searches can be used for customizing task keylinks and for charting.
