Is it possible to bookmark application in lotus designer 8.5 like in the designer 7.0? I can not see any bookmark bar in the designer left side.

You can group apps together in working sets. I don’t like it as much as the bookmark bar but you can group your apps together instead of having to sort through every app you are working on.
Hope that helps.

What is the purpose of the ‘Working Set’ in DDE?
I had a need to search for something in quite a few databases. In the past I had been opening each database in DDE, then search ‘Workspace’.
I decided to use the option to create a ‘Working Set’ - and searched the ‘Working Set’ that I had created.
But what I found was, the databases in the ‘Working Set’ were not being searched, unless they were already open in DDE.
If I have to open them anyway, what’s the point of the Working Set?

Hey Mark ~ Not really sure about the purpose of the working set but if you don’t create them you have to sort through a lot of apps. Everytime you open an app in DDE it adds it to the menu list. So if you have a lot of apps, then you are sorting through them to find the one you need. By setting up working sets you can narrow down the search. Like keeping all the HR apps together, IT apps together, etc.
The pain I’ve found is if you’re not in the correct working set when you open a new app it just adds it to the working set you have open. So if I was in the HR working set and open a new Finance app then it just adds it to my HR working set because that’s what I had open. This has become a pain to maintain. But as far as I can tell it works the same as when I use to create bookmark folders to keep department apps together. Unless I’m not using it correctly of course.
But you are right in that it doesn’t add it to a working set list until you open the app. So this doesn’t help your search since you still have to open them anyway.
It would be nice to have them set up by category name from the catalog and group them together that way.
