Query Cheat Sheet

Welcome to our Query Cheat Sheet! On this page you’ll find a list of query templates that the Admissions team has pre-built, ready for you to use as needed. You can also scroll down to see some of the most common exports and filters that you may use when building queries of your own.

How to Use Query Templates

To use any of these query templates, click the down arrow that is next to the Edit button to the right of the query’s name. In that dropdown, select Copy Query.

In the next box that pops up, enter a descriptive name for your query using our Labeling Queries guidelines. Change the User to your own name, and change the Folder to your department’s folder. Click Save.

How to Pin Exports/Filters

If there are some exports or filters that you find yourself using often, you should Pin them! When you are adding/editing a filter or export, just click on “Edit Pinned” in the top right corner of the pop-up box. This will open a new page where you can set your pinned filters and exports.

Any exports and filters you put into the new page will then show at the top of your options every time you are building a new query!
