    Hello,

    Is it possible to export Advanced Find views? I've tried exporting the entity that the Advanced Find queries, but that did not export the views. Users have created advanced find views on our development deployment that they would like to preserve when moving to production.

    Thanks.

    It's not possible to Export Advanced Find Views out of the box.   However the xml queries are stored in the SavedQueryUserBase table in the MSCRM database.  

    You can look into moving those queries, however it's not supported by MS and you have to do it on your own risk. make sure you backup your database.

    Another support approach is to do it via the SDK, it's supported by MS.

    I hope this helps.

    You may search SavedQuery in the CRM SDK.

    Where would I even start with the SDK for this? I could not find anything related to Advanced Find in the SDK help menu that was even remotely helpful.

    Another question then. If I have a bunch of saved views on a production environment, and I import customizations from a development environment into production, would my saved views on production be unaffected/stay in place? As long as the records in the DB table are not altered, the views should stay, correct?
