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

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.
