My Favorites
The My Favorites feature enables you to create lists and shortcuts to items that you use frequently. Using My Favorites, you can:
Display the list of assets that you own (or that you consume) with a single click.
Create quick links to selected assets in the catalog.
Create a quick link to a saved search or XQuery.
Create a quick link to a list of assets of a particular category or type.
The My Favorites list is available on the Home > My CentraSite page. By default, it contains the following entries:
Choose this entry... | To... |
Assets I Consume | Display the list of assets for which you are registered as a consumer. |
Assets I Provide | Display the list of assets that you own. |
Additionally, you can add any of the following entries to My Favorites:
Entry | Description |
Individual asset | Displays the details for a specified asset. This type of entry acts as a shortcut to the selected object. |
Individual report template | Displays the details for a specified report template. This type of entry acts as a shortcut to the selected object. |
List | Serves as a folder for a collection of objects. Each such list can contain a combination of objects that have different object types, such as assets, taxonomies, organizations and users. |
Saved search | Executes a specified search and displays the resulting list of assets. |
Saved XQuery | Executes a specified query and displays the resulting list of assets. |
List of Type | Displays a list of objects of a specified type. |
List of Category | Displays a list of assets of a specified taxonomy category. |
Smart Lists
The following types of entries are called smart lists:
Saved search
List of Type
List of Category
A smart list produces a dynamic result that is based on a query. For example, when you select a List of Type or a List of Category entry, CentraSite Control executes the appropriate query against the registry and returns a list of objects that matches the requested object type or taxonomy category.
