Favorites
A Favorites folder is similar to a custom menu. A user may have more than one folder, and Favorites are defined separately for each application i.e., Favorites from the Student System and Favorites from the Financial System have to be created separately with the application.
Note: Favorites folders are application, user and PC specific, so if you use more than one PC you will have to recreate your folders on each PC. Also, if another user signs on to your PC, he/she will have to create his or her own Favorites folders.
Follow these steps to create a Favorites folder:
Add to Favorites
From the Main Menu, Click Favorites > Organize Favorites. The Organize Favorites window displays.
Organize Favorites Window
Click Create Folder. The Create Folder dialog box displays.
Create Folder Dialog Box
Key in the name for the new folder and click OK, then close. You will now have a folder in Favorites with the new name.
There are two ways to add a Form to your Favorites folder. To add forms to your Favorites folder:
Add Form to Favorites
1. With the application panel open on your screen, right click on the form to be added to a Favorites folder. If the folder exists, choose it. If not you will be prompted to create the folder.
2. Another way to add forms is on the main menu click Favorites > Add to Favorites. The Add Favorite dialog box displays.
Add Favorite Dialog Box
Enter the screen name (mnemonic) and click Create in to tell the User Interface the name of the folder to add the screen to. (If you do not choose a folder, the screen name is saved as a Favorite but not added to a folder.)
Add Favorite Dialog Box Expanded
Click the folder you want the screen name added to and then click OK. Your Favorites folder will contain the screen name you added for easy access to that screen.
FYI - you can also access the QuickAccess dropdown menu on the application panel (see also Workspace). This dropdown menu (to the right of Mnemonic in the upper left) keeps the last 10 mnemonics accessed in your system.
