Edit folders in Favorites menu
To load the Favorites menu:
The Favorites menu is loaded to show the reports you have marked as favorites from the reports menu or from the tab header. Items in the Favorites menu can be renamed and organized in a tree hierarchy with folders and sub folders.
The folders have the "expand" icon in front of the folder name (for collapsed folders). Expanded or opened folders in the Reports menu have the "collapse" icon in front of the folder name.
Reports can be distinguished in the Favorites menu by the favorite icon behind the report name.
To search for folders or reports in the Favorites menu:
1. Type a keyword in the search box of the Favorites menu.
2. The menu shows only items that contain the search keyword in their name.
a. In case the results are reports than their parent folders hierarchy is also part of the search results even though some or all of the folders in the parent patch do not contain the search word.
b. In case the result is a folder than its content (children in the hierarchy) are displayed even though some or all of the children do not contain the search word in their names
