Frequently Accessed Objects

Searching and navigation provide convenient ways to locate objects based on criteria or location, respectively. However, if there are certain documents that a user accesses frequently, these approaches are still somewhat inefficient. Webtop provides two mechanisms for accessing such objects quickly — subscriptions and shortcuts.

Objects can be subscribed to or unsubscribed via the Tools | Subscribe and Tools | Unsubscribe menu items in Webtop.
