Use the Query module to create customized database queries on your Chameleon data types.
You can create and manage your Queries in Flow. From the Home page, select Content Control > Query.
Add New Query
You can add new Queries to the All Queries list or to a Query Playlist. The All Queries list serves as the master list of queries whereas a Query Playlist simply holds a reference to the Query that exists in the master query list. If adding a new query to a Query Playlist, the new query is first added to the All Queries master list, and then a reference item to the query is added to the playlist.
- Select a list - either choose the All Queries list or a Query Playlist.
Click on the Add New button.
