# Save a report search

When [viewing a report](/totara-20/docs/viewing-and-filtering-reports) and using the search feature you can save searches to quickly return to them at a later date. Saved searches can also be used when setting up scheduled reports.

1. Go to **Reports** from the top menu bar.
2. Select the report you want to save a search for.
3. Enter the search terms and filters you want to use.
4. Click **Save this search**.
5. Configure the settings.
6. Click **Save changes**.

Once you (or other users) have created at least one shared saved search then the **Saved searches** section will be available at the top of the report. From here users can select different searches using the **View a saved search** dropdown list.
