Purpose

A report shortcut rule provides information about a report (for example, the report's description and the category it appears in) to display in the Report Browser. Click a shortcut rule to run its related report and display the report results in the Report Viewer.

Shortcut rules establish shareable links to personal reports that managers have created. The links let other managers using the Report Browser access the reports. Multiple shortcuts can link to the same report.

caution - do this in the report browserDevelopers can create Shortcut rules directly, as they create rules of other types. Developers and managers can also create shortcuts in the Report Browser:

  1. Make sure your userID's Access Group has a Manager composite portal specified as one of the Secondary Portal Layouts on the Settings tab.
  2. From the Quick Launch menu at the top right of the Designer Studio's header bar, click the run buttonRun icon.
  3. From the dropdown menu that appears, select Open Portal > [name of Manager portal].
  4. Select the Monitor Activity slice to display the Report Browser. You can create categories and shortcuts here. See Manager Portal - using the Reports Browser.

TipDon't confuse shortcut rules, described here, with the unrelated shortcuts to activities and V5 reports (not report definition rules) that are accessed from the Designer Studio profile menu.
