Nano How to Save a Search
Introduction
Saved searches in ASM Nano lets you store and quickly reuse your most common search criteria across Calls, Requests, Tasks, Knowledge, and CMDB records. This reduces repetitive work, speeds up everyday operations, and makes it easier to keep critical views at your fingertips.
What this feature does
A new Save search icon is available in the top‑right of the Nano search screen. Once you have configured your filters and run a search, you can:
Save the current search criteria with a meaningful name
Access all saved searches from the Search menu
Open a saved search in a new tab by double‑clicking it
Pin favourite searches for quick access
Edit, rename, or delete saved searches via the action tray
The behaviour is aligned with the existing Saved Reports experience in Core, so users familiar with that capability will find it intuitive in Nano.
Key Benefits
Save time and reduce effort Reuse complex filter sets instantly instead of rebuilding them every time, reducing clicks and handling time for common activities.
Better visibility of critical work Keep important views (for example, high‑priority Calls, overdue Requests, or specific CI types) always one click away, supporting faster decisions and SLA adherence.
