### Favorite Loads

Starring Loads

Users can star ⭐ specific tracking sessions as favorites for quick access. There are two ways to star a shipment.

1. On the main load grid there is a column call 'Favorite Load' that is available. Simply find the load you wish to star and click the icon. If the column is not available check out how to [customize your load grid](https://customer.descartesconnect.com/academy-visibility-controltower-loadgrid) to make this a visible column.
