Adding a List of Objects to My Favorites
In CentraSite Control, you can combine objects of different types into so-called lists. These are user-defined logical collections that allow you to treat the whole list as a single entity. You can, for example, create a list containing assets, organizations and users, then perform an Export operation on the list; the resulting export set would contain all of the objects contained in the list.
When you add objects to a list, CentraSite does not physically copy the objects into the list. Instead, the list contains pointers to the objects. This means, for example, that if you delete a list, you only delete the pointers to the physical objects but you do not delete the physical objects themselves.
The lists that you create are shown in CentraSite Control under My CentraSite > My Favorites.
To add an object to a list in My Favorites
1. From the navigation bar, navigate to the display that shows the object that you wish to add to the list. For example, if you wish to add an asset to a list, choose Asset Catalog > Browse and locate the asset that you want to add to My Favorites. If you need information on how to browse or search the asset catalog, see the CentraSite User’s Guide.
2. Open the object's context menu and choose Add To List.
3. If you want to add the object to an existing list, choose the list from the drop-down list in the dialog box. Otherwise type a name in the text box to create a new list.
4. Choose OK.
