Are Personal Folder and Favorites two different things? I have created and saved some reports in my Personal Folder path. Those reports do not show up in the Favorites section of the main BI Launchpad landing page. Please see screenshot below.
yes, its not the same, you can mark reports as „favorite“
The naming has always been weird.
In the old XI world (XIr1 through BI4.2), “User Folders”, “Personal Folders”, and “Favorites” all meant the same thing – a place where each user could store their own reports.
As of BI4.3, the name is just “Personal Folders”, but has the same function as before.
“Favorites” is a new feature in BI4.3, and functions more like what “Favorites” are in other applications – reports that you have tagged as a favorite and want to access quickly. If you tag a report as a favorite, it won’t appear in your Personal Folder, but it will appear in the “Favorites” list in the Launch Pad home page.
