Quick Query: Is it possible to edit standard queries?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello All,

Some of the standard queries are missing columns that some users want or need. Although it is possible to add columns to an open base query, I haven't found a way to save the column selection other than creating a saved query, which seems redundant and unnecessarily cluttered. In Quick Query Viewer, I can bring up the Choose Columns dialogue, but the option to add a column is greyed out. Anybody know a way to edit the column selection in a standard base query? QQ UG was no help.

Thanks,

Bill

    Hi Rachel,

    Thank you for responding. I can see the rationale for keeping the standard queries pristine, but it does seem that something as simple as editing the available column selection would not result in too terrible a mess. I may submit this as you have suggested.

    Happy Holidays!

    Hello Bill,

    Unfortunately there is not a way to edit standard queries. This is likely by design, to try and ensure that the standard queries don't become too modified to the point they are unrecognizable or corrupt.

    I did test in my machine and I do agree that it does seem redundant and it does make the Quick Query listing appear "messy."  You're welcome to put in an enhancement request, or product feedback by going to CustomerSource and then hovering over the Communities menu option and then clicking "Product Feedback".

    Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.
