4.12 Bookmarks

Bookmarks in BSCW are links to Web pages or BSCW objects that are of personal interest to you. With your bookmark folder you have a personal object where you may collect bookmarks similar to the bookmarking feature of Web browsers.

  • Click bookmarks in the instant access bar or select  GoTo    Bookmarks  in the top menu to open your bookmark folder. You may now add new bookmarks using  File    New    URL .
  • In other folders, you may use action menu   Bookmark  to add links to BSCW objects to your bookmark folder.

Within the bookmark folder, you may create subfolders via  File    New    Folder  to further structure your bookmark collection.

BSCW bookmarks may be exported into the bookmark format of Netscape and then imported into browsers that support the Netscape format (e.g., MS Internet Explorer and Opera).

  • Select  Edit    Archive  in the top menu of your bookmark folder to archive all your bookmarks in Netscape format. Download this archive to your local computer, unpack the HTML file with your bookmarks and import the bookmarks to your browser.
  • You may carry out this operation also for a subset of your bookmarks (single bookmarks, subfolders) by selecting the respective bookmarks and clicking  | archive |  in the selection menu bar.

This export feature is helpful for users who have to use different computers frequently: whenever they access a new computer they may first download and install their BSCW bookmarks on this computer, thus always having access to their personal bookmarks.
