Warning: When you open a navigation favorite, the product structure reappears exactly as it was when you created the favorite. Note that:
  • Filters are not replayed; however, if a filter was associated to the favorite, then it will be available for application once the favorite has been opened.
  • When opening a navigation favorite, if some referenced data has been deleted, it will not be displayed; data is always opened from the database. The following cases are exceptions to this rule:
    • when a child Reference has been removed from the Folder structure referenced by the Navigation favorite
    • when a child Reference has been removed from the Catalog structure referenced by the Navigation favorite
    • when a Process has been removed from the PPR structure referenced by the Navigation favorite
    • when a document has been detached from a product structure referenced by the Navigation favorite
  • Likewise, an object that was referenced when you created a favorite but in the meantime has been replaced by a new version will not be displayed.
  • If an object was instantiated in the structure after you created a favorite, the new instance will not be displayed in the tree when the navigation favorite is opened.
  • Turntable states will be restored as part of the favorite if and only if you are currently in Turntable mode (they will not be restored if you are currently in In-place mode).
  • You can use the Expand All command to refresh and expand the structure. The displayed structure will then complete the structure with the objects that were not part of the favorite context.
