Favorites

Curator has the ability to mark dashboards as favorites. Favorited dashboards will show up first on the home page once the user logs in.

This functionality requires any authentication method other than "Pass-Through". See the Authentication Methods section for more information.

If the Tableau REST API is enabled, the favorites will also synchronize across to the Tableau Server where possible. See the Enabling the REST API section for more information.

You can also display the number of favorites a dashboard has. This number shows up in both the dashboard action-buttons area when viewing a dashboard and on the homepage when showing dashboard tiles.

To enable favorites:

1. Navigate to the backend of the system (e.g. http://curatorexample.com/backend).
2. Log in if prompted.
3. Click on the Settings > Curator > Portal Settings in the left-hand side navigation.
4. Click on the "Features" tab at the top of the main page content.
5. Click to expand the "Toolbar Buttons (Tableau Actions)" section and then click to toggle on the "Favorites" setting. Finally, click the "Save" button.
