Adding library items as favorites

You can add any library item (a file, folder, data connection, and so on) as a favorite and have it show up in a specialized view in the library. This way, you can easily find your most important or most commonly used items in the library.

Procedure

On the authoring bar, click Files and data.

Tip: You can also add items as favorites while using the web view of the library from File > View library.
Browse or search for the file, folder, or other item to add as a favorite.
On the row or card for the interesting item, or in the Details view, click the star icon, Add to favorites.

Tip: Click again to Remove from favorites.

Results

The item is marked as a favorite and it will be shown in the Favorites view in the Files and data flyout.

If there is a number next to the star then this number shows how many unique users have added the item as a favorite and it can help you to locate popular or important analyses and data in the library.

An administrator can decide not to use this functionality in the library, as described in Switching off the favorites functionality in the Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and Administration User Guide.
