Favorite Properties

Favorite properties have a number of effects on how users see Favorites in Subscriptions. The favorite properties can be viewed from the edit favorite properties dialog. The description column of the table includes how each property affects the subscription table.

The following is a list of Favorite Properties:

Property	Description
Favorite Name	The name that is listed for this Favorite in the Subscription on the Reports tab. This is also the name of the favorite in the favorites list.
Favorite Description	The tooltip that is listed for this Favorite in the Subscription on the Reports tab. This is also the description of the favorite in the favorites list.
Favorite Type	The following are the three types of favorites: Latest Report The actual report data the user sees may change over time. If there are new versions of the report, the favorite always points to the latest version. Static Report Refers to one particular version of a report. The actual report data seen by the user does not change over time. Static type favorites cannot be included in a subscription. Note: A re-organization of your mainframe repository can break this link. For example, merging or splitting repositories in CA View can cause these favorites to point to the wrong report.
