NHS HDAS database – action required on Saved Search Results

HDAS has built up a large amount of saved data, which has a potential impact on performance. Please review your saved search strategies and saved results and delete any that you don’t need any more, or export those that you do.

To delete any saved search strategies:

Delete any saved search strategies you no longer need by clicking My Search Strategies. This will delete any results saved against that strategy.

To delete any saved search results only:

If you want to keep the search strategy, you can delete just the results saved against it by going to your Saved Results – you’ll see each set of results, with a date and name of search, with the bin icon at the end of the row – clicking on the bin will delete just your saved results.

To export any saved search results:

If you have saved results that you need to keep indefinitely, please export them using one of the formats available (Word, PDF, Excel or RIS) and save them outside of HDAS.

Screen-shot showing the top menu options "My Search Strategies" and "Saved Results" - use these to delete results you no longer need

Please note, the limit on the length of time HDAS will save things will apply only to saved results, not to saved search strategies.

From 1^st August, any saved results that are more than 2 years old will be automatically deleted.
