Hi Neil,
An idea:
Have a custom field in the item to identify favorite or not.
Include this field onto Dashboard. User can create an initial view using this field value as filter.
thanks
Mathavan
So, from what I understand there is not standard solution, is there?
Mathavan, thanks a lot for your suggestion, but if we implemented that then all the users will have the same favorites, which is not actually what we are looking for...
Check if this works:
Ask users to create a(n) (initial) view in dashboard naming it 'favorite'. They can add items considered favorite to the view.
thx
Do you mean we can add individual items to existing views? That would totally help. How can you do it?
Thanks again!
Create this view with item ID as filter. Users can add items to this filter manually. I would call this 'static' favorites.
Alternately, you can explore other possibilities to create 'dynamic' favorites. For ex., when user wants to call a category of items as their favorites, s/he can create the view with that category value as filter..So, whenever an item is created with that category value, it will get automatically added to the favorite
This experience is obviously different from PPM Project (cProjects) in that users create 'favorites' view not from within each item!
thx
Thanks a lot for your point of view. Although, as you say, the experience might be less user friendly, I think it provides us with a workaround.
I will anyways raise the consideration to SAP that it is confusing that the standard "favorites" functionality is available in PPM Projects and PLM but not in Portfolio.
