Linked Queries

Linked queries can be connected or linked to one or more existing queries which allows it to use its device lists, if the existing queries return non-empty results. The linked query will only act on those devices that meet the existing query criteria.

A linked query can be considered as a results-based device selector. The overview concept is similar to multilevel Boolean searches, where the previous search is used for more detailed results. It can also be viewed as a type of filter.

Linked queries pass the list of devices that meet the first query's criteria to the second query for further filtering. Linked queries do not perform any actions on the actual data returned from the first query's criteria match.

A linked query can contain its own search criteria.

Using Linked Queries

Linked queries can be used with Orbital Catalog queries or existing user-built queries. To use linked queries, you need to select one or more existing queries.

You can access the linked queries feature from the Investigate and Results pages.

For more details, refer to the Connect Scripts to Linked Queries topic.
