Adding a Favorite from an Open Application

You can add a favorite from any form of an open application instead of from a task view. Navigate to an application either through the Navigator menu, or through the Fast Path. Your ability to add a favorite from an open application form depends on whether or not your system administrator has enabled you to do so.

If you are a system administrator, the Server Manager interface for runtime and metric parameters provides details on the usage of each setting applicable to that parameter. Access the interface by clicking the "i" (Information) icon for a desired parameter. The ability to add a favorite from an open application form is enabled if the Setting name = Allow Non-Task Favorites in the JAS.ini file is enabled.

Note: You cannot add a favorite to an application that has form interconnects, which is the ability of application forms to pass information back and forth between them.

1. To add a favorite from an open application, launch an application.

2. From the Tools menu, click Add to Favorites.

   The Add to Favorites dialog box appears.

3. In the Name field, accept the default name or enter a new name.

   Note: Select the Do not show this screen again check box if you do not want the Add to Favorites Dialog box to appear when you add a favorite. To make the Add to Favorites window appear again, access the Personalization menu, and from the Preferences option, select the Show Add Favorites Window check box. Also, you can click the Manage Favorites link to launch the Manage Favorites window where you can delete, rename, reorder, and create user-defined folders to reorganize the favorites. See Manage Favorites Window in the Foundation guide for more information about this topic.

4. Click Create Favorites.

   You will see your new favorite on the Favorites menu, and the Favorites folder on the Carousel.
