Manage Shortcuts

The Manage Shortcuts option helps to improve productivity at your site. Use this utility to view and create quick links to commonly accessed content and to facilitate sharing among contributors working in common areas. You can create shortcuts for the types shown.

Pick from the Show or Type dropdowns to filter results by Default, Non-default, Shared or Non-shared shortcuts. Set default status (appears to contributors at the top of the list) by clicking a star icon in the first column. You can also filter by shortcut type, apply date restrictions or search by owner or name/description.

Click Select Date Options to set the Date column to display by creation, publication, last modification, or last major modification date.

Selected fields automatically display as column heads in the CSV output. You also have the option to change column names on the fly to customize your reports.
