Manage bookmarks

Use the Bookmarks menu to create links to views you access frequently. Changes to Bookmarks are stored for each user individually based on user name. Bookmarks can be placed within user specified groups and sub-groups. Create Groups first and then add bookmarks.

In some cases, existing bookmarks will not work. This can be caused by the following:

  • A software upgrade where names or locations of some views have been modified.
  • A change in the user's permissions.
  • The user has bookmarked a view that is normally launched by selecting an object, such as right clicking on a device to launch the Device Properties view. The Device Properties view requires information about the device in order to open, if this information is not available to the server the bookmark fails.

Add a bookmark group

  2. The New Group dialog is displayed.
