Good tip about the field ids. However, I must not have been clear-- I don't know before-hand what the qualification will be. It could be anything made up on-the-fly and then executed-- I just want a way to grab that qualification somehow afterwards to help me build a link that is easy to share; "Hey Bob, here is a link to the assets that are flagged as missing and older than 2 years, excluding xyz, etc". Seems like such a useful idea, am I crazy?

Not sure if this helps.

Examples below - these are for SSRS report links but you can use the
same approach with some changes to the syntax and criteria for the qual
line reference.
I'm sure you could use same approach on a field and use workflow to auto
build the qual line.

FYI - important to use field IDs and not labels when using "qual=..."
due to bug when field contains special characters.

Subject: capture midtier qualification to be used to create a URL with
mode=search&qual=?

I added a display-only field to the bottom of one of our forms that just

lets you see, click, and/or copy the URL to the current request.  An AL
just sets a field to https://..../arsys/servlet/ViewFormServlet?form="; +

$SCHEMA$) + "&server=") + $SERVER$) + "&eid=") + $Request ID$ and the
field has a display type of Show URL.

This makes it very easy to share a request with someone over email, IM,
etc.  Now I am wondering about the same thing but for queries.  If I
perform a web query by making some selections using the form or in
combination with the advanced query toolbar and then clicking search, is

there a way to capture that qualification into a field to be used in a
URL that includes the "mode=search&qual=<query here>"?  This would be
tremendously useful.  I find myself often manually constructing these
URLs to include in emails, etc.  It's very tedious and error-prone.  Any

other suggestions are welcome.
