7. Administration
7.2.5 Favorites
Favorites is similar to a bookmarks feature. Frequently visited ports can be listed on this page. Open this page and select the port instead of
searching for it in the tree view. This feature is especially useful for larger, cascaded installations.
Note: Each Favorites bookmark that you create is a folder in which multiple ports can be saved.
Adding a Favorite
To add a port to Favorites, do the following:
1. Right click in the main panel and click on the Add Favorite option
that appears. An entry appears named Untitled Favorite.
2. Click inside the text entry box to erase Untitled Favorite and key in
the desired name.
3. To add a port, drag it from the Port Select list and drop it into the
Favorites bookmark you just created. You can also add a port by
right-clicking on it, and selecting Copy. After copying, right-click
on the Favorites bookmark and select Paste. The KVM switch the
port is connected to goes into the Favorites bookmark along with
the port. The port is located under the switch, as it would be in
the tree view on the left-hand panel.
Note: Right-clicking on a port that is already in a Favorites book-
mark will give you the option to cut the port out of that bookmark
and paste it into another Favorites bookmark.
4. Repeat step 3 for any other ports you want to add to your
Favorites bookmark.
