Adding Objects to Favorites
You can add objects (folders and document files) and saved searches to your favorites in yuuvis® RAD client. You can quickly access frequently used objects via the Favorites area in the Main menu. Saved searches that you added to your favorites will be shown on the dashboard of yuuvis® RAD client.
See Adding Saved Searches to Favorites for information on adding saved searches to your favorites.
Adding Objects to Favorites
Click the Favorites icon in the header area of the object area to add objects to your favorites. A save dialog in which you can assign a title to the favorite appears. After saving, the favorites icon changes color and the object is added to the Favorites area in the main menu. You can edit the name of a favorite using the
Favorites icon only when creating the favorite.
As another option, you can use the Add to favorites action in the
Actions menu for one or more selected objects. If you add several objects at the same time to your favorites, you cannot name them yourself. The names of the favorites are automatically generated from the metadata.

You can manage all your favorites in the Favorites area in the main menu. You can open the Favorites area by clicking the Main menu icon or via the
Favorites icon on the yuuvis® RAD bar.

The aspects of the favorites selected in the favorites list are shown in the object area. It is divided into the object aspects:
![Closed](../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)
Shows a summary of the most important metadata and object properties of an object, such as name, editor, status, number of versions, file size, etc.
If the object is in a folder, the most important metadata for the folder is also displayed in a drop-down menu. The title of the drop-down menu provides information about the type of folder. If you click on the linked title, the metadata of the folder is displayed in the object area instead of the metadata of the object.
Fields with links to other objects, such as links to the filing folder or reference links, may also be shown in the Summary aspect area, depending on the object type (see References). Click the folder link or the Reference icon, for example, to access the filing location of the linked object.
If more than one version of an object exists, you can also click the underlined version number to access the version view. Here, you can compare the versions of an object with one another and restore older versions (see Object Versions).
