Adding Shortcuts to the Shortcut Bar

A shortcut lets you open frequently accessed locations within Aptify, including views, folders, services, and applications, with a single mouse click. Regardless of the item that is open in the Display Window, clicking one of the shortcuts opens the specified location and displays its corresponding details in the Display Window.

Follow these steps to add a shortcut to the Shortcut Bar:

1. Select the group in the Shortcut Bar area to which you want to add the shortcut (if applicable).
2. Add the item as a shortcut using one of the following methods:
   • Add a view as a shortcut by right-clicking a view in the Navigation Bar and selecting Add to Shortcut Bar from the pop-up menu.
   • Right-click the Group heading in the Shortcut Bar and select Add Item from the pop-up menu. This opens a Find Items dialog so you can identify a view that you want to add to the Service. See the Using the Find Dialog for information on how to use the Find Items dialog. Note that the Find dialog automatically filters the results so that it displays only the views that appear in the current user's profile.
   • Select any item from the Folder List and drag it to the Shortcut Bar. You may need to add the Folder List to your desktop first.
     • Note that views cannot be dropped from the Navigation Bar.
       
       
   • Right-click on a view in the Folder List and select Add to Shortcut Bar from the pop-up menu.
     

The item's name appears below its shortcut icon in the Shortcut Bar. Note that if you remove an item from your profile that has an associated shortcut link, an error message will display when you click on that link in the Shortcut Bar. The error indicates that the Shortcut Target does not exist and is no longer available.
