This is a mockup of the re-imagined search builder screen. It is intended to replace the current Advanced Search and Search Builder UIs. It will be a full-featured UI aimed at advanced users, with the ability to save configurations into simpler forms like Custom Searches and Reports.
- Allows choosing any base table + joins
- Nested and/or where clause, supports all fields and operators
- Control over grouping and sorting
- Searches can be run immediately, or scheduled to run in the background
- Output columns can be configured by dragging & dropping table headers
- Output rows can be selected and acted upon (e.g. “Add Tags”)
- The query can be saved as the basis for a Custom Search, Report, or Smart Group.
