You can save any condition being built using the categories explained in section Using Condition Categories. The Saved Conditions tab displays a list of all the saved conditions along with the various details related to it.
Let us understand how to save a condition. For example, we want to search for all SKUs belonging to taxonomy node Sunglasses & Frames that have attribute Brand with value Rayban as these SKUs will have some changes and we need to save it as there will be changes in the future as well. The benefit of saving a condition is that when you need to search these SKUs again, you do not have to build the condition again. You can simply run the saved condition to load the required data. Also, these saved conditions can be used while building new conditions as explained in section Building a Condition to Search SKUs.
To save a condition:
In the Build a Condition tab, click Add to select the category. In this case, click Attribute as shown below.
The following screen appears.
Type the attribute name as Brand next to the Search by Attribute Name field and select the attribute from the list displayed.
Click the Add Attribute Condition Element
icon as the value Rayban needs to be entered.Select Attribute Value as the label from the drop-down list with operator as Equals and type the value as Rayban as shown below.
NOTE | The AND operator is selected by default as the category is the same, that is, attributes. |
Select the category as Taxonomy as we need to select the node Sunglasses as shown below.
Here, you have the option of choosing the operator as AND / OR as the category is different based on the condition being built. Since, the node Sunglasses is required in the condition, we will select AND as shown below.
Select the option as Taxonomy Name, operator as Equals and type the value as Sunglasses as shown below.
There are 2 options available to save a condition:
Save Only – This will save the condition. You need to enter the relevant details to save it.
Save & Search – This will save the condition after you enter the relevant details as well as display the result based on the condition built.
Click Save Only to save the condition and view the results later. The following screen appears.
Type the Condition Name and the Condition Description to save the condition. For example, Attri Brand Rayban is the name of the condition. The description is optional.
NOTE | A condition name should be unique for each condition. If a condition name already exists, you cannot use the same name to save another condition. |
NOTE | The Conditions are always specific to the catalogs. So, to avoid confusions while using the saved conditions, it is recommended to include the catalog name in the condition. |
Click Add and the condition is saved successfully.
The Save & Search option works the same way as Save Only. In this case too, you need to first save the condition and once saved, the results are displayed as shown below.
The actions that can be performed on the displayed result is explained here.
The saved condition can be used while building a new condition, if applicable or it can be run to load the required data, whenever required.
You can view all the saved conditions in the Saved Conditions tab. Click Saved Conditions and the following is displayed.

Previewing Search Conditions
Typically, there will be many conditions which have been saved. Before searching the SKUs using the saved condition, you can always use this option to view the condition that has been built before executing the condition. Sometimes, it is possible that by looking at the condition name, you might not recollect the exact condition that was built. This option will display the exact query created.

icon next to the condition to view the details as shown below.
The following screen appears.

You can add or remove (already added) saved conditions while editing the selected condition. However, you cannot edit the section having an existing saved query. For example, a condition selected for editing has a nested saved query as shown below.

The existing name and description of the condition is displayed. You can also edit them , if required.
