Bookmark any intranet page with a click

Use Bookmarks on your ThoughtFarmer intranet to access important pages quickly and keep up-to-date with changes. You can add any intranet page to your list of Bookmarks with just one click.

How to add a bookmark

Navigate to the page you want to add and click the Bookmark icon in the Page Sharing Buttons in the page header. When you click the Bookmark icon, the icon will fill in to show that you have bookmarked the page. That's it!

Now you can click on the Bookmark icon in the App toolbar and you will see the page you have bookmarked in your list of bookmarks.

The number under the Bookmark icon in the page header indicates how many people have bookmarked the page. Hover over the number to see a pop-up list of people who have bookmarked the page. Click on the number to see a list of the people who have bookmarked that page, with their profile photos.

Bookmark a page from activity stream

When an update, Shout-out or other content in an activity stream has the three dots icon beside it, you can bookmark the page right from the activity stream. Click the three dots icon on the top right of the activity item. In the menu that opens, click Bookmark. The content or update page will automatically be added to your Bookmarks.

Bookmarks can trigger in-app and email notifications

In your profile settings you can choose whether bookmarking a page means that you will automatically follow the page. When changes are made to a page you follow, you will receive notifications specified in your notification settings. If you choose to automatically follow content that you bookmark, then you will receive notifications when changes are made to pages that you have bookmarked. (Learn more about Following and alerts.)

To change whether bookmarking a page results in you getting notifications from the page:

  1. Click on your profile photo or name in the top right on any intranet page. In the menu that opens, click General settings.
  2. Under Following Rules, find the toggle Follow content I bookmark, and:
    1. Change the toggle to ON to automatically follow content you bookmark.
    2. Change the toggle to OFF to bookmark pages without following them.

  3. Click Save at the bottom of the page.

Bookmarks card on homepage or profile

If it is used on your intranet, you may also find your Bookmarks in the Bookmarks card on your profile page or the homepage.

Edit profile to make Bookmarks card private

If the Bookmarks card is enabled on profile pages on your intranet, by default it is visible to any colleague who visits your profile page. But you can set your Bookmarks to private so only you see them.
  1. Click on your name or profile photo on the right of the App toolbar, and click Edit profile in the dropdown.
  2. In edit mode, click Configure profile cards on the top right.
  3. In the Card Setup window that opens, find the Bookmark manager card.

  4. Uncheck the box Allow others to view to hide your Bookmarks from other users viewing your profile page.
  5. Click Done.
  6. Click Save at the bottom of the page.

Add an internal or external Bookmark from Bookmarks card

If the Bookmarks card is enabled on your homepage or profile page, you can use it to add intranet pages, external websites, emails, or links to cloud drive documents to your intranet Bookmarks. Once you add them they show up in your Bookmarks in the card and on the App toolbar.
  1. Find the Bookmarks card on your homepage or profile page.
  2. Click Add below the Bookmarks heading. This will open a pop-up window for adding a link.

  3. In the pop-up window, select the tab for the type of Bookmark you want to add and select the Bookmark. The tab options are:
    1. (Your Intranet Name): Use the Search bar or the tree navigation to find the intranet page you want.
    2. Recently viewed pages: Look at list of pages you have viewed recently to find the intranet page you want.
    3. External location: Enter the URL of the website you want to Bookmark in the Link path box.
    4. Email: Enter the email address that you want to create a mail-to Bookmark for.
    5. Cloud drive: Login to the cloud drive if you aren't already, and search or navigate to find the document you want.
