Shortcut rules
Completing the New or Save As form

Create a Shortcut rule by selecting Shortcut from the Report category.

Note that you cannot create a shortcut until you have created or added reports to the application, and made them available in the Report Browser that appears in the Manager portal. To add reports to the Report Browser, you need at least one personal category. To share shortcuts, you need to have at least one shared category in which to place the shortcuts.

A Shortcut rule has four key parts:

Field	Description
Shortcut Name	Enter a name for the shortcut. Using a brief but distinctive name is helpful, as a manager using the portal may see similarly-named shortcuts provided by a number of developers and other managers.
Owner Type	Select an option: Standard. The shortcut appears in one of the available standard categories. Shared. The shortcut appears in one of the available shared categories. Personal. The shortcut appears in one of the available personal categories.
Owner	Options for this field depend on the shortcut's Owner Type: Standard: Owner Name defaults to ALL. Shared or Personal: Choose from the list of Operator IDs with access to the shortcut's RuleSet.
Category Name	Select a category for this shortcut from the categories available for the shortcut's Owner.

Click Create to create the shortcut. Complete the fields on the Shortcut tab and save the rule.
