From the Favorites panel you can quickly access frequently-used ControlPoint features, SharePoint sites, or any website or Web-based application. Individual administrators can configure their own Favorites using the procedure for Customizing Your Favorites.
NOTE: In a multi-farm installation, your Favorites is persistent across all farms.
Each individual administrator can customize his or her own ControlPoint Favorites list to include frequently-used items, including SharePoint sites and ControlPoint actions and analyses.
When you add Web applications, site collections and sites to your Favorites list, you have access to all of the right-click menu options for which you have permissions.
Custom itemssuch as links to SharePoint pages, internal or external web sites and web-based applicationscan also be added.
NOTE: If you use ControlPoint to manage multiple farms, your Favorites will be carried over to every farm.
To access the Favorites Maintenance page:
From the Manage ControlPoint tree, choose ControlPoint Configuration > Favorites Maintenance.
To add items to your Favorites:
1Use the information in the following table to determine the appropriate action to take.

from the Copy From drop-down, select a menu (.xml) file. Note that Tools.xml (and any customized versions of that file) contains the menu items that display only if ControlPoint is configured to display the Actions and Analysis tree as an alternative to Manage ControlPoint. |
search for the site collections and sites that you want to add* |
enter the site Name and/or URL and search within the SharePoint Hierarchy |
add a custom menu item |
follow the procedure for Adding and Updating Custom Items in a Menu. |
