Misi - $Enter Date$ is just the parameter wording.
So if you use 'Submit Date' >= "$Enter Date$" in the advanced search bar it will prompt you for a date and the results will return anything created after that date. You can save this search and run it as your own search. You could also put this in the defined searches and I believe it will work fine. However, if you try do build a search qualification on the Incident Management Console using the SYS:Predefined Queries form it gives you an invalid date format. I know with keywords like $NULL$ you need to put $\NULL$ for it to take it. I've played around with quotes and single tics around the parameter but I keep getting invalid date format. This form essentially builds the external qualification for the table. I don't recall ever trying to use parameters on external qualifications. I'm trying to limit the amount of customizations and put as much control into the end users hands as possible. Using SYS:Predefined Queries would work well. I could have users build their own queries and the ones they deemed worthy I could make accessible to a group of people by setting restricted access on SYS:Predefined Queries.

I'm trying to find the right syntax to utilize parameters in SYS:Predefined Queries though. I tried "$Enter Date$" and "$\Enter Date$" but nether one of those worked. Have you guys used parameters in setting up these searches?

I have multiple companies using the system and was hoping to use a backend form to control the searches without doing a whole lot of customization. I was hoping it pulled off the AR System Search Preferences. They want to run a bunch of searches based on an start/end date. I want to set this based on permissions. They also want to be able to export this data as needed to a csv file. Just doing reports won't work because they may only want to drill into the individual ticket data, in which they would only need the search and not need the report. Back to the drawing board.
