Your favorites list and the position and visibility of the Favorites browser are saved in the <projectname>.rpw file. When you load multiple projects, the Favorites browser shows the favorites list for the active project.
You cannot use the Favorites browser as a replacement for the main browser in the product. While the Favorites browser resembles the main browser in IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® and has some of its functionality, the Favorites browser has limited functionality. For example, the Favorites browser has no filtering mechanism, and while you can remove items from the Favorites browser, you cannot use it to delete a model element from your model.
To show or
hide the Favorites browser, click the Show/Hide Favorites button
on the Favorites toolbar.
To create your favorites
list, highlight a model element in the main browser, the Browse From
Here browser (see Opening a more focused browser), or on
a diagram and click the Add to Favorites button
on the Favorites toolbar. You can
also right-click the item and select .
With
your Favorites browser open, you can add items to it by clicking the
Add to Favorites button
and then selecting one or more items to
add from the Select Item(s) to Add to Favorites window. If you have
a folder structure for your favorites list, you can specify where
to put a new favorite by selecting that folder first (or the root
node, Favorites) in the Favorites browser. Otherwise, your favorite
item is added to below the non-folder item you have highlighted in
the Favorites browser.
To create a folder structure for your favorites:
You cannot give a name that is different from the referenced element to a favorite. Note that since you can put different model elements with the same name on your favorites list, to avoid confusion, notice the icon to the left of the model element name. The icons provide you with a clue as to what type of model item you have on your favorites list.
