How do I set up, change, or delete, and use the personal bookmarks feature on the Inside Courts Web site (http://inside.courts.wa.gov)?
Bookmarks you create when you are logged in on the Inside Courts Web site are available to you from any PC from which you log into Inside Courts. In comparison, Favorites added from your browser menu are ONLY accessible from the PC from which you added the Favorite. Therefore, if your job takes you to PCs other than your own, AOC recommends that you take advantage of the Bookmark feature in Inside Courts to bookmark all your "favorite" sites. Instructions below tell you how to bookmark pages from Inside Courts as well as from any other Web site you choose.
There are two ways to add a new bookmark, depending upon the Web site you are on from which the bookmark will be created. There is one method for bookmarking a page on the Inside Courts Web site, and another method to bookmark a page from any other Web site. Both methods are explained below, in addition to instructions to change or delete an existing bookmark, and to use a bookmark once it has been set.
Note: Effective 7/24/15, the JIS Online Manuals no longer allow bookmarks to be automatically created using the bookmark function in the toolbar. Older bookmarks will still work, however addition of any new bookmarks to the help.courts.wa.gov website will have to utilize the directions for bookmarking a page from any other Website.
