    Create a "Favorites" in an InfoPath SharePoint library

    I have a form library that is quite large (a lot of documents).  I want to give people the ability to "Mark" certain documents as "Favorites" and then bring up a view of favorites that is specific to the user. 

     Any thoughts (Other than I probably should be posting this on a SharePoint blog instead)?

    FU Question: Any good forums for SharePoint similiar to this that someone can recommend? 

     Thanks!

    Hi Jim,

    Are you using [ME] filtering in SharePoint already to show users only documents that are created by them or assigned to them?

    A simple thing you could do would be to add a field either to the document (in InfoPath) a simple checkbox where checked = True = Favorite.  This would allow each document to have a favorite true/false but it wouldn't allow the document to be favorites for any number of people because it's a single field.  You could also add a column in SharePoint only with the same purpose, but again it would only allow the form to be marked as favorite which would be a global favorite for the form, not just for that user.

    However, if these documents are always created by the person who would need to mark it as a favorite this might work - you could set the condition in the filter in SharePoint to be "Created by [Me] and Favorite = True" or something like that

    Hope that helps a bit

    Ted
