BMC is alerting you that the Find, Update, and Viewpoint presets are deleted, by default, after 60 days. Find and Update presets enable you to save search and update criteria for later use, as described in Finding Jobs and Updating Jobs. Viewpoint presets enable you to save a set of user-defined filters and apply them to public viewpoints, as described in Creating a Filter Preset.
