Add To Favorites

Add favorite links for quick access to WebCenter Portal pages and the web sites you find most useful. If you like, you can share favorites with other users by making one or more of them discoverable in a search.

To add a favorite:

1. Obtain the URLs you want to save in your favorites:

   • For pages external to WebCenter Portal, go to a favorite web location and copy its URL.

   • For WebCenter Portal pages, log in and go to the page you want to make a favorite.

   • If you know the URL, enter it manually when prompted.

   Note:

   URLs that start with a slash (/) are the only URLs recognized as internal to WebCenter Portal. If you create a favorite to a WebCenter Portal page that does not start with a slash (/), but rather starts with http://, when you navigate to that page through your favorite, it will first show a message warning that you are leaving WebCenter Portal.

2. In the Name field in the Add to Favorites dialog, enter a display name for the favorite.

   Note:

   The value you enter for Name becomes the favorite's link text. The name of the current page is provided by default. You can change this or leave it as is.

3. In the Web Address field, enter the target URL for the favorite.

   The default entry for this field is the URL of the current WebCenter Portal page; you have three options:

   • Leave the default entry (the path to the current page) as is.

   • Paste a copied URL.

   • Enter the URL manually.

4. From the Create In pick list, select the favorites folder in which to create the favorite.

   See Also:

   WebCenter Portal provides one top-level default folder: Favorites. You can also create your own folders by clicking the New Folder button.

5. To enable this favorite to be discovered by other users during a search, select Shared.

   Deselect Shared if you do not want other users to have any access to this favorite.

6. Click OK to add the favorite to the Favorites menu and the Manage Favorites page.
