Queries
Queries are requests for information within Cinchy.
Only Cinchy Builders have the capability to create ad-hoc and saved queries. For more information on how to create queries, see creating a saved query.
Cinchy Users can execute pre-built queries based on their access.
You can find a list of saved queries on your network by navigating to the Saved Queries table (Image 1). You can then search the Cinchy homepage for the saved query in order to execute it.
You will need "Execute Access" for each Saved Query that you want to run. You can find this information in the Saved Queries table.

Once you have executed the query, click the Grid drop down list and select Pivot. Here is where you can take your standard table view and slice and dice your data (Image 2).

From within your pivot view, open the drop down list with the value “table” and select the type of chart you want to use to display the data (Image 3).

- 1.From within the Pivot, locate the blue Pivot URL
- 2.Click Pivot URL button
- 3.Click the Copy button
- 4.Send the copied URL to your Cinchy builder to create your applet that can be shared and leveraged!
You can also open that visualization by clicking Open in new tab.
