Favorites Lists

Favorite materials can be added to personal lists of records, allowing them to be accessed later. Favorite Lists can be published and made available to other users (for example, as an 'Approved Materials List').

These may be records that you work with frequently, or records used in a particular project, or with a particular set of properties. Favorite Lists can be personal, so only you can see them, or published, so all users can see them and subscribe to them.

Favorite Lists can include records from multiple tables and databases. It is important to note that the contents of Favorite Lists can be access-controlled, you will only see the records that you have permission to access.

You can access your personal Favorites Lists, and any lists you have subscribed to, from the following Granta MI applications:
