Shortcut rules establish shareable links to personal reports that managers create. The links provide other managers with access to the reports in the Report Browser. Multiple report shortcuts can link to the same report.

Access

To see the shortcut rules available to your current application, select Dev Studio > Reporting > Report Components > ShortCuts. To see all of the shortcut rules in your system, use the Records Explorer.

Developers can create shortcut rules directly, as they create rules of other types. Managers can create shortcuts in the Report Browser.

2. From the Quick Launch menu at the top right of the Dev Studio header, click Run.
3. From the drop-down menu, select Open Portal > [name of Manager portal].
4. Select the Monitor Activity slice to open the Report Browser, where you can create categories and shortcuts.
