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.
