Managing favorite objects


Use the Favorite Objects node for each database to work with the selected objects of this database only. You can place any object from the database tree into this node.
 
Note: Before you can add an object to the Favorite Objects node, you must first create a folder within the corresponding database node.

 

You can also create a separate tab for your favorite object folder. See Using tabs for database navigation section for details.
