Rename a search

Searches can be renamed to easily identify and re-use them.

  1. In the search window, select Additional tools → Search Actions → Rename.
  2. Enter the name or 'alias' in the Search Name field. You can also select the Mark as Finder Entry Point option to add the search to an aliased finder.

  3. Click Save.

Another way to rename a search is by clicking on the table name that appears under the Data Search area every time you run a search. You must be in the search window to do this; if not, clicking the table name will open the search window.

Difference between Alias and Table name

When you re-access a search from the Favorite Searches or Search History areas, notice that each row contains two names: Alias and Table name. Select the alias if you want to open your search with all the operations you performed. If you select the table name, you will open the original data table.
