Managing favorites with the favorites editor

As well as being able to add views to your own favorites list using the add to favorites (Add to favorites) icon, you can also work with your favorites using the favorites editor.

To open this editor, click Favorites editor under Special in the WUI navigation frame.

The User ID is at the top of the screen. The favorites menu consists of radio buttons. The 4 buttons at the bottom of the view are Move Copy Edit and Delete.
The Favorites Editor screen gives you a number of options:
Move
Alter the listed position of an existing favorite:

Click Move, select a favorite from the list and click OK. Now select a new position favorite and click OK. To move the selected favorite to the end of the list, click OK without first selecting a new position.

Copy
Copy an existing favorite and give it a new title:
Click Copy, select a favorite from the list, and click OK. This opens a Copy Favorite screen.

Type in the title of the new favorite, then select the position to insert. Select OK to confirm.
Now you can give the copy a new title and select its position on your favorites list by selecting the existing favorite from the list above which the new copy will be positioned. If you want to position the new copy at the bottom of the list, do not select an existing favorite. Click OK to confirm the operation.
Edit
Change the components of a favorite including title, destination, context and scope, and filter settings.

From the Favorites Editor screen, click Edit. Select the favorite you want to edit from the list, then click OK to open the Components of Favorite screen. This gives you two options:

  • Click Title and annotation to alter the text of the link to a selected favorite. Enter new text in the Title field, and click OK.
  • Click Destination to alter context and scope settings or filter attributes and parameters.
    • Clicking on Context and Scope settings opens the View Link Context and Scope Settings screen. You can enter new values for context and scope or chose to inherit values from the current menu or view.
    • Clicking Filter attributes and parameters opens the View Link Filters screen. This allows you to work with attribute and parameter filter settings of the selected favorite. You can append, insert, edit or delete filter expressions. However, ensure you do not include more than one filter expression for any particular attribute. Specifying multiple filter expressions for the same attribute will lead to unexpected results. See Filtering data for more information about filters.
Delete
Remove an item from your list of favorites.

Click Delete, select one of your favorites from the list and click OK to confirm.

The favorites editor allows you to edit your own list of favorites. It does not allow you to manage the favorites of other users. Only WUI administrators with access to the user editor have the authority to do this.
