Query (Agent - Java™)

Read-only. The text of the query used by an agent to select documents. In the Agent Properties box, a query is defined by the searches added to the agent using the Add Search button.

If no query is defined with the Add Search button, the Query property returns an empty string, even if the agent runs a formula that has its own SELECT statement or a script that selects specific documents.

```
If an agent searches for documents that use the Response form, Query returns:
```
