Working with bookmarks in a data container
Working with bookmarks is an easy way to share data with other users of any container created from the same template. By sharing with others, you can integrate testing, development, and QA needs. For example, in the past, if you found a bug you would wait until it was fixed. But with bookmarks, you do not have to stop your work while someone tries to fix the problem. Sharing a bookmark allows users to work with data as they see fit. Bookmarks mark a moment of data. Delphix Self-Service will never automatically delete the data marked by that bookmark. However, Delphix Self-Service will automatically delete a bookmark with an expiration date set at the end of that day.
