Use these topics to learn how to create, edit, share, and
manage formats.
Creating formats
After creating a query, select a format to view the query
results. You can use either an existing format, or create a format
that displays the information that you need. When you define a format,
you can use it with multiple queries, or modify it and save it as
an additional format.
Saving formats
After defining a format, you can save it and use it again,
or edit it and create a format. When you save it, the format is displayed
in the Personal format folder or a subfolder
of that folder.
Sharing formats
After defining a format, you can share it with others.
When you share it, the format is displayed in the Shared folder.
The format is visible in all databases running on the same server.
Moving formats
You can move a format to a different folder. To organize
the information in your personal folders, move queries to other folders.
You can move only those items in your Personal folder.
Deleting formats
You can delete a format that you no longer need. To keep
your lists in the personal folders manageable, delete unused formats
on a regular basis.
