To run an existing query:

  1. Click on the Query UPDBL button on the upper right side of the window or click on the Query UPDBL button in the lower right corner of the window. The Saved Queries window open.

  1. The query has now been run. You may stop here, or — if you would like to download the results of the query as an Excel file — click on the Download Results button. A dialog will open asking if you want to open or save the resulting Excel file.

The File Download dialog may appear different depending on which browser you are using. You may also choose to open the file instead of saving it.

  1. Choose a location, save the file and open it in Excel (or another spreadsheet application that can read Excel files) to view the resulting spreadsheet.

After running the query, you can also examine relationships between patients in the selected cohort.
