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.

An administrator can decide not to use this functionality in the library, as described in Switching off the favorites functionality or the favorites count.
- Switching off the favorites functionality or the favorites count
As an administrator, you can switch off the whole concept of favorites from your library, or you can just toggle the display of the accumulated favorite count on/off. The latter can be done either for the whole server or for certain user groups only.
