Query Lists give Certero customers complete control and flexibility over what data is displayed across your dashboards.

There are several different components that can be added as part of a Query List . These are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Entity | An item from the standard menu such as the *Microsoft Windows *item from the *Computer Systems *menu |
| Saved Items | A saved query from a chart |
| Data Groups | Dynamic Groups, Static Groups & Custom Groups. |

Adding the items into the Query List is a clean and easy process.

1. Navigate to your chosen Dashboard.
