AirVision simplifies regular tasks with a list of user-defined Favorites, which function like Favorites in Internet browsers, such as Internet Explorer. You can save a selection of sites, parameters, average intervals, and date ranges for the Average Data Editor or any Data Report.

Favorites can be saved as a global favorite for all users, or as a favorite for an individual user. To create a favorite, go into any data editor or report, complete a
query, and select Favorites from the top menu (Figure 4-30). The ribbon bar will change to show the favorites menu.

Give the favorite a name, a description (optional), and select User or All Users (global) and select from the following options:

• Launch on Application Startup to run the Favorite upon logging in to AirVision
• Run Query on Launch to execute data retrieval when the Favorite is selected.

You can also configure the Favorite by selecting the Favorite Query tab after you select Save as Favorite. From this screen (Figure 4-32) you can adjust the site/parameter list, date range, or average interval. These values can also be adjusted later in the Favorites Editor in the Configuration menu.

To return to the ribbon controlling the current application, select the top menu function (above the ribbon), for example, Average Data Editor.

To use an existing Favorite, select Favorites from the top menu (above the ribbon bar), select User Favorite or Global Favorites, and the saved Favorite.

In Version 2.0, the "Look Back Days" option was expanded to allow a lookback of the last NNN days, hours, or minutes.
