Managing saved find requests
Whether a saved find or recent find is available to a user depends on the account that is used and
the table that the layout is based on, including any related tables that are referenced in the find
criteria.
• Users logged in as one FileMaker account will see the same saved finds and recent finds as
other FileMaker users sharing that account. You can edit, duplicate, or delete a saved find.
• Users logged into the same external authentication account will see different lists of saved
and recent finds, depending on the account ID and the username passed to the external
authentication server. You can clear saved finds for external user accounts that are no
longer active.
Note For users logged into the same FileMaker account, only one user at a time can modify a
saved find.
To edit, duplicate, or delete a saved find:
1. In the status toolbar, click the down arrow next to Find (Windows), or click and hold Find
(OS X). Then choose Edit Saved Finds from the list.
