Follow these steps to install the browser toolbar button
and get started using Bookmarks.
About this task
There are two ways to create a bookmark. If you know the
URL you want to bookmark, you can click the Public Bookmarks or My
Bookmarks tab and click the Add Bookmark button.
Fill in the form to create a bookmark to the URL you specify. If you
want to bookmark from a web page you visit, follow the steps to install
the browser button so you can easily add a bookmark to a site you
want to share or revisit.
Procedure
- If you have not done so already, install the Add
Bookmark browser toolbar button from the Bookmarking
Tools link in the footer of the Bookmarks window.
- Visit a web page that you want to bookmark and click the Add
Bookmark toolbar button to create a bookmark.
Provide a title, description and tags that describe the
bookmark. Indicate whether you want the bookmark to be
Public,
so that other users can see it, or
Private,
available only to you. You can also choose to add the bookmark to
other IBM® Connections applications
deployed for your organization. For example, you can add a bookmark
to a Community so it is available to the user group.
Note: You can
also add a Discuss This browser button, which
will allow you to re-post web pages as topics for discussion in your
forums. For more information on the Discuss This button,
see the Forums help.
Results
Return to the Bookmarks application to view your bookmarks.
You have a variety of options for viewing and using bookmarks:
- View just the bookmarks you have added from the My
Bookmarks page.
- View Public Bookmarks to see the bookmarks
available, the people who created them, and the tags used to identify
them.
- View Popular bookmarks to see the most
frequently bookmarked pages.
- Refine the Public Bookmark list using the Search application
or filtering by person or tag to locate bookmarks of interest.
- Add a tag or person to your watchlist. A watchlist maintains a

your watchlist, click the My Updates tab to
view your list.
