If you want to use an existing Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 query as the basis for a new query (to preserve the original query), click Browse on the Query Properties dialog box to locate and select the existing query. The new query will inherit the properties of the existing query, which you can then modify.

Note
If you select only a portion of a clause in a query that has multiple clauses, the Delete button is disabled. Select the entire clause.
Note
You must have Modify permission for the Query security object class to modify query properties.
