Bookmarking the most recent version of an asset

To always access the most recent version of an asset with a URL address, bookmark, or favorite, remove the &v query string from the URL address of the general details page of the asset.

About this task

The most recent version of an asset is determined by the asset version formatting rules.

Procedure

  1. In the web client, locate the asset that you want to bookmark. To find an asset, use the My Dashboard page, asset subscriptions, the sidebars on the Home page, or any combination of keywords, filters, or tags on the Assets page.
  2. Click the name of the asset.
    The General Details page opens.
  3. In the address bar of your web browser, in the URL for the page, locate the &v=<version_number> query string, where <version_number> is the version number of the asset. The &v=<version_number> operator will be immediately after the &guid={<guid>}
  4. Remove the &v=<version_number> string from the URL. For example, http://www.example.com/ram/assetDetail/generalDetails.faces?guid={A1234BCD-56EF-7GHI-J012-KL34MN56O7P8}&v=7.2&submission=false will become http://www.example.com/ram/assetDetail/generalDetails.faces?guid={A1234BCD-56EF-7GHI-J012-KL34MN56O7P8}&submission=false
  5. Navigate to the revised address. The most recent version of the asset opens.
  6. Bookmark or favorite the address in your web browser.

Results

Any time that you use the bookmark or favorite, the most recent version of the asset will open.
