I imported several Named Queries from another Project. They show up as a choice when I use the Report Module yet I do not see the listed under Named Queries. I can see them to export them and if I try to import them again I get a warning that they exist. I need to edit them, how do I find/access them? ---

Does _File | Update Project_ fix it? Alternately try exiting out and reopening the project. ---

I have tried both and neither worked. Thanks, ---

If you export just the missing named queries and imported them into a new project does the same occur? If so I’d like to take a look at an export where this is occurring, also it’d be nice to know what version of Ignition you are seeing this in. ---

The issue for me was that the queries were from a new version of Ignition. The older version handles the way the named queries different then the newer version. With some help from tech support I was able to open the queries and copy them over to new queries in the old version. Hope this helps. ---

That makes sense. Beginning in 8.1.6, named queries are serialized to a human readable format on disk. Because of this, any named queries created or edited in this version or later are not backwards compatible with older gateways.
