Bookmark an RCM or RCM Object

See Bookmark an Object from the Entity Hierarchy Tree for more information.

Link an RCM or RCM Object

See Link Tags to Objects in the Entity Hierarchy for more information.

Note: If you have more than one RCMs opened simultaneously in different browser tabs or windows, changes made to the RCM content of an RCM won't reflect on other RCMs on refreshing. For instance, consider you have RCM1 in tab1 and RCM2 in tab2. Now, if you add risk1 to RCM1 and refresh RCM2 in tab2, you will NOT find risk1 in RCM2.
