Our card wall (a view whose filter changes every iteration) was set as a favorite (but not a tab) for a while. We bookmarked the URL from the Favorites list and went straight to it every morning. The URL had the name of the view in it, and Mingle loaded the current definition of that view every time. Life was good, except that the list of favorites was long, so we promoted that view to be a tab.
The next time we used our bookmark, we got an error message saying there’s no favorite by that name. We tried bookmarking the tab, but saw that the URLs behind the tab links have all the filtering details in the query string, so if we bookmark it, we freeze our view to whatever the filter happened to be when we created the bookmark.
How can I bookmark a tab so that I’ll get whatever that tab is currently configured to show? If the answer is “you can’t,” feel free to move this over to the Feature Requests forum.
Thanks.-hume.
Are there bookmarkable tab URLs?

Hi -
I have some good news and so-so news on this one.
The good news is that you can use the tab name as the ‘view’ parameter, e.g. /projects/your_project/cards?view=My+Tab+Name
The so-so news is that the tab will not be highlighted with that single parameter. You’ll also need to specify the tab name: /projects/your_project/cards?view=My+Tab+Name&tab=My+Tab+Name
That style of bookmark will always show the up-to-date tab view.
Excellent. Thanks.
