This page is used to define a user's favorite transactions and
URLs. Each such link appears as an entry in the Favorite
Links Zone in the Dashboard area.
Note:
Ctrl + a number can be used to execute a favorite link. Rather than clicking a button in the favorite links zone, you can
invoke your first nine favorite links by pressing Ctrl + a number (where
the number corresponds with the relative position of the transaction
in your list of favorites). Note that the numeric keypad on your
keyboard cannot be used to implement this function.
To access this page:
- Open and navigate to
the Favorite Links tab to modify any user's
preferences.
- Open to modify
your own preferences. You can also click
the Preferences link (My Preferences) located in the
action area to access this information.
Description of Page
Note:
You may not be able to change your favorite links.
If a Note appears beneath your User ID, your user id has been setup to reference a specific Favorites
Profile User ID as defined on the Main tab. If a system administrator has setup your user ID in this way,
your preferences may not be changed. System
administrators may apply this feature in order to enforce a common look-and-feel
throughout the user community.
Each row references a Navigation Option. The
navigation options supplied with the base package correspond with
the system's menu items. This means you can setup a favorite link
to open any transaction in the system (in either add or update mode).
Note:
Favorite links can point to other places. The navigation
options supplied with the base package always open a transaction's
Main tab. If you find yourself continually accessing a different tab
page, you can have your implementation team create a new navigation
option that references the desired tab page. Once this navigation
option is set up, you can reference it as one of your favorite links.
In addition, it's also possible for your implementation team to setup
navigation options that open a URL outside of the system. For example,
your implementation team could setup a navigation option to a credit
rating company's website. Once this navigation option is set up, you
can reference it as one of your favorite links.
Use a Sequence to control the order in
which the navigation option appears in the Favorite Links
Zone.
Security Access indicates if you have been
given security rights to the respective transaction. Refer to The Big Picture Of Application Security for more information.
