  1. First, create a search.

  2. In the Search window toolbar, click the Save  button.

  3. In the Save window, provide the following details:

  4. Name: Type a name for the search. Use a name that adequately represents the search attributes.

  5. Type: Select the type of search from the dropdown list. There are two options available.

    • Global Searches: A global search is available to all users.

    • Personal Searches: A personal search is available only to the user who creates it.
