About Bookmarks - trillium_discovery - trillium_quality - 17.1

You can bookmark the results of your data analysis and other findings. A bookmark saves the data displayed in a List View and captures metadata details for later viewing.

Because bookmarks are actively linked to an object (for example, an entity or join), you can perform drill downs and other functions on the object, in the same way you might view data in a List View. Bookmarks require that the object they reference exist in the repository. If the object has been deleted and no longer appears in the Navigation or Summary Data View, the bookmark is no longer valid.

Use bookmarks to:

• Mark data checkpoints for data profiling. Data analysts often follow a trail of data clues. In some cases, the path turns out to be a dead-end. To properly profile data, an analyst must return again and again to the last good clue in the trail and restart the analysis from that point. By marking points along the path as checkpoints—in other words, using bookmarks—you can quickly return to a point of inquiry that has the highest potential for giving you the information you seek.
• Prepare reports. You can save List View information as bookmarks. This lets you create bookmarks along multiple data inquiry paths that you can later reference or compare. You can also work with different selections without needing to repeat data analysis steps to get the same results. By saving several bookmarks of different List View views, you can capture your findings and then structure these findings for reports.
• Share, communicate, and report on findings. When you are ready to make your findings public, you can create bookmarks that others can access. Use public bookmarks to highlight data issues or to provide background information for formal reports or inquiries. Public bookmarks are visible to all users assigned to a repository.
