Select Bookmarks

Article summary

The Select Bookmark feature allows users to create and save custom Selections that can be reused in other Screens across Capsules.

All saved Bookmarks are associated with a specific Data model. In case the Multiple Data model mode is enabled on a Screen, existing Bookmarks will affect only Screen Objects associated with the same Data model.

Users can set selections through Selector Objects and/or Screen Selections and then save their personal configuration in a Bookmark.

Bookmarks are saved at the user level, i.e. they're available only to the user who created them. Every time a Screen is opened in Play mode, all Bookmarks the user has previously saved in that Capsule will be available.

If a Bookmark is created through a Selector Object in a Screen where the "Deny selection editor" option is active, only the selections made from that Selector Object are saved.

Where to find Select Bookmarks

The Select Bookmark feature can be found in:

  1. The Top Menu
