How do I manually update a saved search at a time other than scheduled through user request?

[wcooper003]

I have an intensive search populating a dashboard that i'd like to schedule once a day, or as requested by the user --for example, with an update submit button to re-run the search. Is there a way to schedule a saved search to run at a minimum - say every 24hrs, but also have it re-run through a user request action?

I also don't think I understand the full utility of saved searches - I can see why you use them from a scheduling perspective where I currently schedule them to either populate lookups, summary indices, or through searches that call 'loadjob savedsearch=xyz'. But what do you use saved searches for if you're not scheduling them?

thanks

if you go to Settings>Searches, reports, and alerts (upper right) you can find the searches that are scheduled and under Actions (on the right) you can click 'Run'

Thanks for the reply. I have seen that ability to run manually through the Settings, but we want to set it up so that a Power User or User (not admin) can, for example, click a Submit button on the dashboard to update the search. Is there a way to do this type of manual update?

I can envision it'd be possible through some custom html button linked to a REST call to run the saved search (if endpoint exists) and then rerun the chart in the dashboard. That's all above my experience right now, hoping for something similar or a sketch of how this would be done. Here, the chart search string would be a '| loadjob savedsearch=xyz', so i'd have to both run/update the saved search and then rerun the 'loadjob' command for the chart afterwards.
