This topic describes the new user favorites feature of the CICSPlex® SM
Web User Interface.
User favorites give individual users of the WUI the ability to save selected
WUI screens to a special menu where they can be accessed quickly and easily.
A set of favorites always relates to an individual user only and not to user
groups. However a similar result can be achieved for groups of users by using
the new user group profile facility in conjunction with the view editor (see User group profiles for guidance).
The information for user favorites is held in a new object called 'user'.
The user object holds a menu group that contains hyperlinks for the favorites
of a user. There are two ways of creating a user object:
- It can be created the first time a user creates a favorite. When a user
creates a favorite by clicking on the
icon, the WUI searches for a user object that has an ID matching
the user's ID. If a matching user object cannot be found, the WUI server
automatically creates a matching user object for that user.
- It can be created by an administrator in the user editor. See Creating and managing favorites for other WUI users for more information.
