Hi Folks,

Whenever I search, I select some addition fields to scan through the information. However, this view isn’t persistent. I have saved the searches in dashboard hoping when I access the saved searches via dashboard it will show me the search results with all the required columns selected. However, that is not the case.

Any suggestion who to save the search view?

Thanks,  
Navdeep

That’s currently not possible.
