Use the saved search gadget
The Saved Search Gadget must first be added to the Dashboard. Once added, Saved Searches show on your Dashboard.
-
Each Saved Search is listed by name.
-
Saved Searches can be expanded to look at their saved parameters.
This feature is generally only useful for local administrators who can configure lookup lists. -
Clicking the 'Run' button opens and executes the Saved Search.

Clicking the 'Open' button opens the Saved Search but does not execute it.
This feature is useful when your Saved Search includes only the common settings for the search but needs to have changes made before it is run.
