CMPOnline has all kinds of hidden secrets!
Users can add frequently accessed screens to their “Favorites” menu for easy, one-click access. Simply visit the page you wish to favorite and click the star in the top menu bar. This comes in handy for screens that are deep within CMP that users wish to access quickly and easily.
