Favorites provide an easy way to store and access frequently used SAP BI system queries. You can store Favorites at the root of a system node, or in folders. Use the Favorites folders dialog boxes to add Favorites, and to create and work with Favorites folders. These dialog boxes are displayed when you select a BI query in the Find Data Services task panel, and from the context menu, choose Add to Favorites.

Note Note

Favorites are stored in lists by the current BI system user. Note that depending on how users are mapped in the system, the current BI system user could differ from the current portal user.
