6.2 About Bookmarks

Bookmarks are personal for each user and are retained in the PlateSpin Transformation Manager database. Bookmarks persist across sessions, web browsers, and computers. You can access the same bookmarks from any computer and add bookmarks from anywhere, too.

You can share bookmark URLs with others. Bookmarks honor the individual user’s permissions based on the roles assigned to the user in one or more projects, as appropriate. Users who follow the link will be prompted to log in to the Web Interface. The user must have a PlateSpin Transformation Manager user account to log in. To see the target page and its contents, the user account must be assigned to a role that has permission to access the page and to view or edit the objects displayed on it.

A bookmark includes the following information:

Name

A friendly name for the bookmark. A suggested name is based on the page name. A custom name is helpful in distinguishing bookmarks over time. Names are not forced to be unique.

The name must begin with a letter or number. It can contain only letters, numbers, and the following special characters: space, hyphen, underscore, apostrophe, percent, ampersand, comma, and period.

Description

(Optional) A brief description of the bookmark.

Ensure that you provide a robust description that reminds you about the content and usage of the target page or query. It should include relevant keywords and necessary information in a meaningful way. A good description will help you easily find the correct bookmark when you need it.

URL

PTM automatically compiles a bookmark URL that contains state information for the page, including all Advanced Search settings and the Global Project Selector setting. You can view the URL after you create the bookmark.

Type

The bookmark type reflects its parent location in the Web Interface.
