 ====== Query Builder Dialog ======
-The Query Builder is used to define the queries that will extract signals from the loaded CMZ library. The dialog also allows you to group specific signals together based on a number of possible features, e.g. right/left or intact/affected. This dialog is available when there is a [[sift:tutorials:load_and_view_data#load_library|loaded library]] in Sift.

 ===== Manual Query Definition =====
-Manual query definition allows users to exactly specify which signals and metrics they want to pull out of the loaded library by creating conditions for each  definition of signals.
