Bookmarking Story Views
Create bookmarks to save different states of a story.
When viewing a story, you may want to come back to the same view of the data every time or you may want to set up different states or scenarios.
For example, you have several pages in your story that have filters, input controls, or prompts applied to them. You don't want to spend time resetting all of them each time you want to see a different scenario. You would like to open the story, see one scenario, and then quickly switch to another scenario. You can even create global bookmarks so that anyone who can view the story can also see the different scenarios.
A bookmark only includes filters, input controls, and prompts.
When you are satisfied with how your story looks, save the current state:
- From the menu, select
(Bookmark) 
Bookmark Current State
. - Provide a name for your bookmark.
- Choose whether to make it a Personal or a Global bookmark.
- Decide whether to set it as the new default bookmark.
- Select Save.
Your bookmark is added to the list of bookmarks.
When you create your story and save it, you automatically get a default bookmark.
To access the default bookmark or any saved bookmarks, do the following:
- From the menu, select
(Bookmark) Open Saved Bookmark.
- Select the default bookmark or one of your saved bookmarks.
The story opens with the customized filter, input control, and prompt settings.
If you change the default story settings after you have saved bookmarks, the next time you try to use one of those bookmarks you may get a warning message.
For example, you change a page filter to be a story filter. The next time you open the bookmark that has a page filter, you will see that the bookmark has been partially applied.
