-Usually the user would run a query by selecting an item of the “Run Query” type from the main menu, provided that such an item has been configured in the visual perspective – see [[docs:2000_concepts:0300_ui:0200_ops|Operations]]. The user may not even realize that selecting a particular menu item will run a pre-configured query. For example, the configurator can define a query that finds accounts with balances larger than a certain amount and configure a menu item in a visual perspective called “Large Balances”. When the user selects this menu item in the Operation Mode the system will display the accounts with a large balance as expected and the user would not even be aware of the invocation of a query mechanism behind the scenes.+Usually the user would run a query by selecting an item of the “Run Query” type from the main menu, provided that such an item has been configured in the visual perspective – see [[2000_concepts:0300_ui:0200_ops|Operations]].

-Note that as explained in [[docs:2000_concepts:0300_ui:0200_ops|Operations]] a query can also be implicitly invoked from the hyperlink of the business object presentation (see [[docs:1300_user_guide|[[#HelpUsingHyperlinks|Hyperlinks]]]]) or from a business object form (see [[docs:1300_user_guide|[[#HelpUsingFormOperations|Form Caption and Form Operations]]]]). Again in both cases the user may not be aware of the existence of queries in the system.+Note that as explained in [[2000_concepts:0300_ui:0200_ops|Operations]] a query can also be implicitly invoked from a form of a business object (see [[2000_concepts:0400_data_entry_and_editing:0400_form_ops|Form Operations]]). Again in both cases the user may not be aware of the existence of queries in the system.
  
 There is also another way of running queries in the Operation Mode – that is, selecting a menu item of the “Search Objects” type (provided that one has been configured). An operation of this type shows the screen where the user can select a specific query that she wants to run from a list of all queries configured in the system. Note that since the user selects a particular query from a list of all available queries she should be well aware of the existence of queries in the system. Normally an operation of this type should be used by system administrators only. There is also another way of running queries in the Operation Mode – that is, selecting a menu item of the “Search Objects” type (provided that one has been configured).
