Use saved searches
Create saved searches from GovTribe search pages, reopen current results, and manage saved-search email frequency.
Open a GovTribe search page and click Save This Search, or click Saved Searches to manage searches you have already saved.
Saved searches are available on Launch, Launch Plus, Growth, Growth Plus, and Scale.
Use Saved Searches when a search result set is useful enough to revisit, monitor, or share with your capture workflow after you leave the search page.
When to use saved searches
A saved search stores the search page, query, filters, sort, scope, and search mode. Use one when you want to return to the same market, buyer, topic, or opportunity lane without rebuilding the search each time.
Saved searches are created from search pages that support Save This Search. They appear in the Saved Searches index page, where you can reopen current results and manage alert settings.
A saved Contacts search can also feed a contact group so new matching contacts can be added to the group over time.
Create a saved search
This example uses Federal Contract Opportunities to monitor Counter UAS systems opportunities due within the next 12 months.
Open Federal Contract Opportunities. Search for Counter UAS systems.
Add the due-date filter. Click Add Filter, choose Due Next 12 Months, and confirm the active filter reads Due Date within the next 12 Months.
Save the result set. Click Save This Search, name the saved search, choose whether GovTribe should email you when results change, and select an alert frequency.
The save dialog includes:
| Field or control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name this Saved Search | Names the saved search in the Saved Searches page and saved-search dropdowns. |
| Email me when results change | Turns saved-search email alerts on or off. |
| Alert Frequency | Sets alert emails to Instant, Daily, or Weekly when alerts are on. |
| Save | Creates the saved search from the current query, filters, sort, and search mode. |
| Cancel | Closes the dialog without creating the saved search. |
Find the saved search
After you save the search, open Capture and click Saved Searches, or open the saved-search dropdown on the source search page.
The saved-search row shows the current result count for the stored search. In this example, the saved search appears under Federal Contract Opportunities with 51 current results and Daily frequency.
View current results
Click the saved-search name to reopen the stored result set. GovTribe returns you to the source search page and loads the saved search's query, filters, sort, and search mode.
For the example saved search, opening the name returns to Federal Contract Opportunities with Counter UAS systems, the Due Date within the next 12 Months filter, and the current matching opportunity results.
Change alert frequency
Use the row Edit action on the Saved Searches page to rename a saved search, turn email alerts on or off, or change the alert frequency.
Choose Instant, Daily, or Weekly when email alerts are on. If you turn email alerts off, GovTribe keeps the saved search available for reopening, but it does not send saved-search email notifications.
Review Last Sent
Use the Last Sent column on the Saved Searches page to see when GovTribe last recorded a saved-search notification for that row. New saved searches can show their creation date as the initial alert baseline until a later alert run updates the value.
