Managing user favorites

User favorites gives all WUI users the ability to save tabular and detail views on an ad hoc basis to an easily-accessible and editable menu of favorites. This allows you to reach frequently used views with just one click. Administrators have the additional authority to update the favorites of other users.

Hyperlinks to user favorites are displayed under the heading Favorites in the navigation frame of WUI views and menus.

The favorites function is available on WUI tabular and detailed views but not on map screens. You cannot hyperlink to a map screen directly.

To create a new user favorite item, click the Add to favorites icon at the top right of the work frame. The Add to favorites screen opens. Optionally, type a title for the new favorite, then click OK to add it to your favorites list.

Note: If you open another WUI window for the same user ID, locking problems might prevent you from updating your favorites in either session.

You can perform more operations on your favorites using the favorites editor. This allows you to specify opening context and scope settings and to update other information such as link titles. To access the favorites editor, click the hyperlink in the navigation frame. See Managing favorites with the favorites editor for guidance on using the favorites editor to manage your own user favorites. See Creating and managing favorites for other WUI users for guidance on managing the favorites of other WUI users.
