Creating a Favorite Search
The following process describes how to create a new search favorite. When you create a favorite, the following fields and view options are included:
Terms added to the Search header
The language selected within any Phonetic search pill
Matching options for the terms
Relationships between boolean operators (and, or, and not)
Filters
Current state of the Results area: view type (list or card), columns (width and position), sort order, display options, and more.
If you save a favorite with the Auto-Refresh option enabled, the favorite displays the auto-refresh icon to the right of the name. For more information on this feature, see Refresh Search.
Favorite searches are associated with your MediaCentral Cloud UX user account and not with your local workstation. If you work in an environment with multiple workstations, you can create a favorite on one PC, and then move to another PC later in the day — your favorite search list follows you to the next session and workstation.
To create a favorite search using the Search sidebar:
1. Create a search using any combination of phrases and filters.
2. (optional) Customize the view of the Results area.
Since the look of the Results area is saved with your favorite, you might want to take a moment to make sure that the sorting and display options are configured optimally for future use of the favorite.
3. (if necessary) Click the Favorite button at the top of the Search Sidebar.
4. Click the “Create a New Favorite” button.
The New Favorite window appears.
5. Enter a custom name.
You are not required to create a unique name for each favorite. If desired, you can have multiple favorites with the same name.
6. Click the Save button to save your new favorite.
Alternatively, you can click Cancel to abort the process.
