The add-in can be unloaded or set not to load at startup by changing the
options in the Add-in Manager (page 13) dialog box. When the Data
Favorites add-in is first loaded, its window appears in the upper left corner
of the FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook application window. The
window is only accessible in Build mode. If the window is closed, in Build
mode, click View > Data Favorites.

There are two panels within the Data Favorites window:
