\label{Wishlist}

A personal Stored Links repository is only available for users with access to the resource-pool. 
To access your Stored Links select
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{wishlist}
\textbf{Stored Links} from the Main Menu.
This provides the ability to save links to resources in the shared resource-pool or to links to external websites. Links are stored in a hierarchical list, and must contain a title and a path. They can be stored in two ways:

\begin{enumerate}
\item When viewing a resource, the 
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{wishlist-link}
icon is offered to automatically save a link for this resource to Stored Links.
\item A link can be manually saved by inserting the required information.
\end{enumerate}

Folders (which you name by entering a title) can be used to structure the list. Both links and folders can also be annotated wth a note, for example to describe their contents. Stored Links includes functions to modify the hierarchical structure within which your links are saved.  To support this, Stored Links operates in two distinct mode: view-mode and edit-mode.
The view-mode is selected by clicking on
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{view}
in the \textbf{Function} bar of the Inline Menu.
It contains the following functions:

\begin{enumerate}
\item Click \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{add_link} to add a new link to your Stored Links by manually inserting a title, a path and an optional note. 
\item Click \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{add_folder} to add a new folder to your Stored Links by inserting a title and an optional note. 
\item Click \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{note} to view and edit notes.
\item Select links and folders via checkboxes to move them to another folder by pressing \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{move}. Moving a folder means moving all content within this folder.
\item Select links and folders via checkboxes to delete them  by pressing \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{delete}. Deleting a folder means deleting all content within this folder.
\item Click \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{save} to save changed notes.
\end{enumerate}

The view-mode is selected by clicking on
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{edit}
in the \textbf{Function} bar of the Inline Menu.
It contains the following functions:

\begin{enumerate}
\item Click \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{add_link} to add a new link to your Stored Links by manually inserting a title, a path and an optional note. 
\item Click \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{add_folder} to add a new folder to your Stored Links by inserting a title and an optional note. 
\item Edit the titles (and paths) of links and folders via textfields.
\item Click \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{note} to view and edit notes.
\item Sorting links and folders within a directory-level using the select-boxes before the title.
\item Select links and folders via checkboxes to move them to another folder by pressing \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{move}. Moving a folder means moving all content within this folder.
\item Select links and folders via checkboxes to delete them by pressing \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{delete}. Deleting a folder means deleting all content within this folder.
\item Click \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{save} to save changed titles, paths and notes.
\end{enumerate}
