Adding and deleting favorites

The Favorites portlet enables you to quickly access your most often-used or favorite Web sites, either internally or externally.

Note

Remember, the way your favorites look in Navigate Favorites is not necessarily the way they'll be displayed in the portlet itself. For example, the portlet only shows two levels of nesting, while the Navigator shows as many as you create. (To see a group's subgroups in the Favorites portlet, click Favorite Group.)

To add a favorite:

  1. In the Favorites portlet banner, click the portlet name (by default, this is Favorites).

    Navigate Favorites is displayed.

  2. To add a favorite at the top level, click Create Favorite next to Actions. To add a favorite to a group, click Create Favorite next to the group.

  3. On the Add Favorite page, add the name of the favorite, the URL you want to display when you click the favorite's name and, optionally, a description of the favorite. The description is displayed only when you are in edit mode.

  4. Click Create.

  5. To return to Navigate Favorites, click Close.

    If you added a favorite to the top level, the favorite is displayed as soon as you return to the Favorites Navigator. If you added a favorite to a group, you will not see the favorite displayed until you expand the group. (The appearance of groups and favorites within the Favorites portlet is determined by the Show property in Customize Favorites.)

  6. To return to your page, click Close.

To delete a favorite:

  1. In the Favorites portlet banner, click the portlet name (by default, this is Favorites).

    Navigate Favorites is displayed.

  2. Click Delete next to the favorite you want to delete.

    Note: You may have to expand a group so you can see the favorite you want. A confirmation dialog is not displayed.

  3. To return to your page, click Close.
