# Saved search

CPQ offers predefined saved search capabilities, as well as the ability to define and share search queries.

## View saved searches

To view available saved search queries for an object:

1. From the application left navigation area, select an object (for example, **Quotes**).
2. At the top right of the quotes list page, select **Settings**.
3. Select **Saved Searches**.

## Define custom queries

1. From the application left navigation area, select an object.
2. At the top right of the quotes list page, select the **Settings** icon.
3. Select **Saved Searches**, then select **Add New**.
4. In the **Name** field, enter the name for the new query.
5. Select **Save**.

From the **Saved Searches** page, you can configure labels, define order sequence, hide, and delete saved search queries. ![Saved search order and visibility](https://cdn.document360.io/24f960e8-3c1c-4c18-a2c6-83b6ae4aab84/Images/Documentation/saved_search_profile_1.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-11T12%3A16%3A52Z&se=2026-11-11T13%3A16%3A52Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=f3%2BI%2Fv%2Fxqz5P3%2BcooxBn8uCTmRLCzOw%2BxIjDoguahDA%3D)

## Conditionally hide saved search queries

By default, saved searches are available to all users. You can restrict their visibility based on user roles.

For example, as shown in the following image, you can define whether the search query should be visible and whether it should inherit the display or hide parameters from the saved search itself. For example, if you configure a saved search as hidden, but the exception profile overwrites this by setting the visibility to **Show**, the saved search is available only to users with the respective profile assigned to their roles.
