Favorite Organizer

Use the widget to create folders and organize your favorite trend charts.

This widget allows you to group all your favorites under a meaningful folder structure, and get to them quickly. The favorite organizer can be used along with the trend card on the same page to display favorites effortlessly.

When you import/export apps in Operations Hub, only favorites are imported/exported as unparented items. The folder structure is not imported/exported.

The favorite organizer widget is available under Integration > General. When designing application pages, drag-and-drop GEFavoriteOrganizer to a container.
