In this lesson, you will learn how to search resources
or profiles by creating a query. As a resource manager, you must delegate
assignments within a project to resources or profiles. The search
can be narrowed down to skill, competency, rate, and so on of the
resource.
Before you create a query, ensure that you have added data
to attributes such as skill, competency, pool types, calendar, profiles,
proficiency and rates.
To search resources or profiles by creating a query:
- In the Resources view, click the Queries tab.
- In the Query Editor, type a name for the query,
say Java developer.
- Select User from the list. To select a profile, click Profile.
- To add a condition to narrow down the search, click the
Add icon
. The Add condition viewlet
opens. 
- Select the required attribute, and click Add
attribute condition. Repeat this step until
all the attributes are added.
- Optional: To add a OR condition, in the Add
condition viewlet, click Add OR condition. You can use the OR condition to continue search if the previous
condition is not satisfied.
- Click Run to run the query.
- Click Save to save the query. After you save the query, it will be visible in the My Queries
section.

You have successfully created and saved a query. In the next
lesson, we will learn how to assign resources to a project.
