Creating a definition query for a Reviewer table

A definition query can be used to limit which records are visible in the Reviewer table. The definition query is actually a Structured Query Language (SQL) query that is applied to the Reviewer table records. The records that match the parameters specified in the query are the only ones visible in the table. As a default, the definition query for a Reviewer table is set to match the session number.

The query can be defined using any field in the Reviewer table and all the unique values. For example, if you want to find all the errors that have been manually committed to the error table, you could set up a query such as "ORIGINCHECK = 'Reviewer Commit Error Tool'". Custom fields can also be used in the query so the table can be more focused for your needs.

Once you create the query, it can be validated, saved, and loaded. The validation process validates the query you created and informs you of the number of records that are found using the query. You can also save the query and load it as needed.
