Queries

A query refers to the action of retrieving data from your database. Queries are used to populate the widgets in your dashboard. You can create, edit, clone, share, and remove queries as needed. Queries can be created, viewed, and edited across all plugins that use queries, however users can only view and edit the queries they create or have been given Edit permissions for a shared query. Queries return all the information related to the query parameters a user sets, but only shows the results depending on what access or rights the user has been given.

You view the last query you worked with when you navigate back to the Query Editor page. For example, if you were modifying an existing query, saved it, and navigated to a different page, when you navigate back to the Query Editor the query you modified displays.
