Manage Favorites dialog

Use this dialog to organize and manage your favorite objects. Favorite objects are those catalog objects that you view regularly or want to view again at another time.

When working in Oracle Business Intelligence Mobile, you can only add an item to or remove an item from your favorites list. Your Oracle BI EE desktop and Oracle Business Intelligence Mobile favorites lists will synchronize when you log into either Oracle BI EE instance.
