What is the default condition for saved searches with multiple criteria?

The default condition for saved searches with multiple criteria is "AND." This means that when you create a saved search and add various criteria, all of the specified conditions must be met for a record to be included in the search results. Using "AND" ensures that the search will return only those records that fulfill each individual criterion, providing a more refined and focused dataset.

For example, if a saved search includes criteria for both "customer status equals 'active'" and "total sales greater than $1000," the resultant reports will only display records that meet both conditions simultaneously.

When building complex searches, understanding this foundational behavior of "AND" is crucial, as it helps define the scope of your data retrieval accurately and meets analytical needs effectively. In contrast, using other conditions like "OR" or "NOT" would alter the inclusivity of the search, leading to broader or more exclusionary results not aligned with the default setting.
