Overview

BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization enables you to bookmark content that you use frequently or want to be easily accessible for quick reference.

You can:

• Bookmark analyses, models, views, reports, systems details, business drivers, reservations, and domains.
• Edit and manage saved bookmarks.
• Easily share bookmarks with other users via email, increasing user collaboration.

A maximum of 10 bookmarks are displayed for each group, in a descending order of when they were accessed, with the most recently accessed bookmark listed on top.
