Using Book­marks touchpoints

Touch­points allow rel­e­vant infor­ma­tion to be shared seam­lessly between Book­marks and the Peo­ple + Ser­vices topic. Exam­ple: You could define access infor­ma­tion for ser­vices such as your elec­tric util­ity account directly in Peo­ple + Ser­vices. Via the touch­point to that topic, the infor­ma­tion is also acces­si­ble from Book­marks. Or, you could define the billing and pay­ment web­site for your ISP account directly in Book­marks and, via the touch­point to that topic, the infor­ma­tion is also acces­si­ble from Peo­ple + Services.

Online Ser­vices

“Online ser­vices” are internet-related prod­ucts or labor you receive from com­pa­nies, orga­ni­za­tions, or indi­vid­u­als. Web host­ing, inter­net access, and photo shar­ing are all exam­ples of online services.

Online Ser­vices is a touch­point to the Online Ser­vices cat­e­gory in the Peo­ple + Ser­vices topic. This means that online ser­vices defined here will appear as ser­vices in the Online Ser­vices cat­e­gory in the Peo­ple + Ser­vices topic. Tap Online Ser­vices to go to its view which con­tains the fol­low­ing sections:

Tap Sort to alter­nate between sort­ing ser­vices by date mod­i­fied (with the most recently mod­i­fied one first) and alpha­bet­i­cally by title. Each ser­vice includes the service’s name, its ser­vice provider, and either its cat­e­gory or update time, depend­ing on which sort mode is cur­rently active.

Cat­e­gories for Bookmarks

Cat­e­gories are avail­able for use with book­marks.

When a book­mark cat­e­gory is deleted, it is com­pletely removed from Life­Topix. When a book­mark cat­e­gory is hid­den, it no longer appears in the Cat­e­gories for Book­marks sec­tion, but it remains defined in Life­Topix and is still avail­able in the cat­e­gory list when you are defin­ing a new book­mark.
