Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It's more a nice to have, if you work a lot with specific pages on the firewall.

Describe the solution you like

I would like to have the possibility to "star" single pages, which then are displayed additionally under the starred section in the menu:

Adding a page could be done, by clicking on the empty star in the title.

When a page is already added, then the star is filled.

Describe alternatives you considered

Making browser favorites for faster navigation.

Additional context

When working daily with the firewall GUI it would save a lot of clicks, when it's possible to easily star pages you need most often. Also switching between them would be much faster.

You can write your own menu.xml file in the system, but it will be difficult to teach the menu system which page was opened from which location as they are being duplicated in the menu. I'm tagging this support for the time being. This needs a better concept and likely new code which isn't necessarily a win-win situation.

Cheers,
