The Favorites list

The Favorites list is located on the Favorites menu. You can use the Favorites list to create shortcuts to items in the console tree. For your convenience, you can add shortcuts to tools that you use often or tools that are several levels down in the console tree. You can also use the Favorites list to make it easier for new users to complete tasks. For instance, you can create a console that has shortcuts in the Favorites list to only the items in the console tree that a given user needs to perform a task. You can then hide the console tree to further simplify the view.

You can also use the Favorites list to organize taskpad views. For example, a complex console might have multiple taskpad views distributed among the multiple items in the console tree. However, you can add all these taskpad views to the Favorites list, which enables users to access them from a single location.
