In addition to favorites that users create themselves, you can create default favorites that display to all users of the Favorites portlet. Both the user created favorites and the default favorites display in the Favorites portlet.

Notes:

• Default favorites are displayed by default in the Favorites portlet. If you do not want to display the default favorites to users of the Favorites portlet, customize the Favorites portlet and clear Display Default Favorites on the Edit Favorites Portlet Settings page.

• The display of the favorites on the Navigate Default Favorites page is not necessarily the same as the display in the Favorites portlet. Although you can nest favorite groups to several levels in the Navigator, only the first two levels are displayed within the Favorites portlet. To display a group's subgroups in the Favorites portlet, click .

To add a default favorite:

1. Navigate to the page that includes the Favorites portlet.
