Use Case 00810:Browsing Bookmarks within a Portal

Release Target:


Description:

This Use case is the Base Case for Bookmark functionality. General Bookmark attributes and procedures are detailed here.


The Collaborative Portal bookmarking model has one important distinction from browser bookmarking: In CW, Bookmarks can be shared. In a Collaborative Portal, the bookmark portlet is available for reading and use in most cases, by all participants. The ability to create a bookmark and have it appear within the bookmark portlet for a particular portal, is controlled by write privelage on the bookmark portlet.


A system user may have participant status in many different portals, including their own personal portal. When using a collaborative portal or an application associated with a collaborative portal, the bookmark portlet instanced by that portal only shows bookmarks associated with that portal. When a user is at his or her own personal portal, the Bookmark portlet can be configured to show just personal bookmarks, or import bookmarks as read/use only from collaborative portals that include the user as a member.
