Saved Searches
Justis allows you to save your search strategies so that you can use them again without having to re-type them. The strategies are stored on the Justis web server, and so you can access them from any computer. Saved Searches is located in the History section of My Justis.
Saving a search
After refining your search strategy to get the results you want, click the “Save Search” button in the Results Options panel on the Results screen. You will see a notice that your search has been saved.
If you want to save a previous search, click the “My Justis” tab and then the My Trail button. Locate your search in the list, and then click the blue star icon to the left of it, so that the star becomes yellow. You can also save older searches, by using the calendar to locate them. My Trail includes searches that did not find any documents.
Managing your saved searches
Your saved searches are listed in My Justis – click the “Saved Searches” button in the History section.
You will see a list of all of your saved searches.
To the left of the names of the saved searches, there are check boxes and icons that provide 5 options:
 |
Click to place a tick in one or more check boxes, and then select an option from the “Client Code Actions” drop-down. |
 |
Click a yellow star so that it turns blue, to remove a saved search from the list. This does not delete the search from My Trail, so you can save the search again if you need to. |
 |
Click a grey envelope to set up an email alert. |
 |
Click an orange envelope to switch off an email alert. This does not delete the details from My Alerts, and so you can click the grey icon to re-start the alert. |
 |
Click an orange RSS icon to preview an RSS alert. Your Web browser will tell you how to subscribe to the RSS alert. |
 |
Click a magnifying glass to load the saved search strategy on the Search screen. You can then repeat the original search, or modify it. |
To the right of the names of the saved searches, you can see the client code and the date and time when the search was saved. To see only the searches for a particular client, click the client code.
To change the name of a saved search, click its name, and a dialog box will open:
The dialog box provides 2 options that are not available in the list of saved searches:
- Run the search and view the results
- Edit the name of the saved search
Filtering your saved searches by date
You can filter the list of saved searches by date (using the calendar on the right) or by client codes.
In the Calendar, the “Today” link shows you only the searches that you have saved today. The “All” link shows you all of your saved searches.
The month links allow you to navigate through the calendar, and they also filter the list to show all of the searches that you saved in a particular month. Click a day within the calendar to see all of the searches that you saved on that day.

Client codes
Justis allows you to attach a client code to any of your saved searches. If a client code is in operation when you save a search, then the search is automatically flagged with the code. You can also delete, add or change codes manually.
To assign a client code to a saved search, click to place a tick in the check box to the left of a search, and then select an option from the “Client Code Actions” drop-down.
To restrict the list of saved searches to those for a particular client, click the appropriate code in the list beneath the calendar. You can also click the code in the list of displayed searches.
You can use the calendar on the right of the screen to restrict the list to the searches that you saved on a particular day or in a particular month. Click the “All” link at the top of the calendar to see the full list again.
