The Job and Work Queue queries help you search for required jobs and activities.

The System queries help you to view the workload for automatic and manual tasks so that you can take actions to avoid delay in processing the tasks and improve performance. You can also view the completed work performed in the system to help you analyze and identify the areas of concern.

Manage the display of the columns in the Results table at runtime by selecting columns and sorting them in the order of appearance. You can also share queries with specific users or groups. You can define a custom sort order using the columns available in Work Queue, JobList and System queries and specify the direction for each field as ascending or descending.

When you view the query in a JobList, Work Queue or Workload control, the total number of items matching the query are displayed. The count of items are displayed in brackets beside the title above the table.

• The count is the total number of items regardless of the retrieval limit specified in the query.

• The count is the distinct number of activities in the system. For example, if an activity is assigned to a group you are a member of, and directly to you, the activity is shown twice in your work queue but it is still only one distinct activity.
