      The first step in creating a query is to select a record type. You can only select one record type from the list.

    - Running recent records, queries, and charts again
      HCL Compass Web keeps a history of recently run records, queries, and data-push charts during your current user session so that you can run them again.
    - Configuring startup queries or charts
      You can configure HCL Compass Web to run a startup query or data-push chart each time you log in to a user database. Only one startup query or chart can be set.

Sending the Web address of a query or chart by e-mail

You can provide other users direct access to the results of a query or data-push chart by sending a URL by e-mail.

About this task

To send the Web address associated with a query, report, or chart by e-mail:

Procedure

Verify that your Internet browser is associated with your e-mail client. For instructions, see the online help for your browser.
Locate the query in the Navigator, right-click it to display the pop-up menu, and click Email.
Click Open Email Client on the Send Email window to open the compose window of your e-mail client.
The compose window of your e-mail client opens. The Subject contains the query or chart name, and the message body contains a link to the associated Web address.

Results

When the e-mail recipient clicks the link, one of two pages opens:

If the recipient is logged in to HCL Compass Web, the query or chart opens in the right pane of the browser window.
If the recipient is not logged in to HCL Compass Web, the login page opens. After the user name and password are validated, the query opens in the right pane of the browser window, bypassing the startup query, if one is defined.
