Creating a Browse Favorites Team
The Favorite tab allows system administrators to create special team folders that allow you to group multiple favorites together around a common theme. Teams are shared with specific groups of users that are defined by the administrator. As a result, your folder favorites list might or might not include any team folders. Teams are listed alphabetically in the Favorites list between My Folders and Public Folders.
When creating a team, the administrator can enable or disable a Read-Only check box. If enabled, users can see the team, but not make changes. If disabled, users have the ability to add, edit, or delete favorites from the team folder.
If you hover your cursor over the team icon, the system displays a tool-tip that shows the names of the groups that are associated with the team.
To create a favorites team:
1. Right-click on a favorite, folder or empty area in the Browse Favorites sidebar and then click on the Manage Browse Favorites option in the context menu. Note that right-clicking on the area or folder of an expanded favorite does not open the context menu.
2. (optional) Select the check boxes for one or more existing favorites before you create the team. When you create the team, the selected favorites are added to the team automatically.
3. Click on the Team button at the top of the list.
The New Team Folder window is displayed.
4. Enter a name for the new team.
5. (optional) If you want to restrict access to this team folder so that other users cannot add, edit, or delete favorites in this location, click the read-only check box.
6. In the Share Browse Favorite area of the window, click one or more check boxes to the left of the list of user groups to define the users that should have access to the team.
If your system includes a large number of groups, you can enter a value in the Find a User Group field to filter the list to display only those groups that include your filter criteria.
7. Click the Save button.
The team is created as a new category in the Browse Favorites sidebar.
8. Click the green check mark at the top of the Favorites list to exit edit mode.
If you did not assign favorites to the Team (see step 2), the new Team folder will be empty.
