For the URL, copy and paste the code below

Open in Cascade

The Open in Cascade bookmark allows you to open the specified page in a new tab within Cascade; however, it will not display the edit screen.

javascript:(function(){var cascadeURL='https://cascade.fiu.edu/entity/open.act?type=page&id=';var cascadeID=$('meta[name=id]').attr('content');window.open(cascadeURL+cascadeID);})();

Edit in Cascade

The Edit in Cascade bookmark allows you to open the specified page in a new tab within Cascade, taking you straight to the editing screen.

javascript:if( typeof $('meta[name=id]').attr("content") !== "undefined" ){window.open("https://cascade.fiu.edu/entity/open.act?action=edit&type=page&id="+$(%27meta[name=id]%27).attr("content"));}

Once you're done, click save. Your new bookmark will appear on your bookmarks bar in your browser.

This is how it looks using the feature:
