This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to set up a "Bookmark" button so that Users can bookmark posts for reference later. Then I would like to set up a View to show each User their bookmarked posts.

Solution: There is not currently a built-in way to associate Users and Posts, so you would have to create something like this with CRED. You could create a repeating field on the post that stores User IDs, and use CRED to add or remove the current User's ID from this repeating field group on each post.

Hi, there's not a "bookmark" or "favorite" feature built-in to Types and Views. You could use CRED to do something similar to this with a repeating custom field on each post that holds the ID of each User that favorites the post. If you'd like more information about that, please post in the Professional forum.
