Creating a shortcut to a document

As you work with your Landmark applications, you may need to refer frequently to some documents on your machine or on your network. Creating a shortcut to a document lets you access that document directly from your Infor Rich Client canvas.

  1. Select Start > Create > Shortcut.

    or

    Select Start > Library, click the Widgets tab, and drag the Shortcut widget to your canvas.

    The short cut appears as "New Shortcut" with a yellow flag indicating that it has not yet been defined.

  2. Click the Settings (gear) icon on the Shortcut toolbar.
    Note: 

    Place your cursor on the shortcut to display the toolbar.

  3. On the Shortcut settings form, create the link to the document as follows:
    Name

    Enter the name of your shortcut.

    Note: 

    If you are going to use many shortcuts, you should make your shortcut names as clear and unambiguous as possible.

    Target or URL

    Enter the path to the document or click the Browse button, locate the document on your machine or network, and double-click the document to add it to the shortcut.

    Note: 

    If the document is on a network, the shortcut will work only if you are logged into the network.

  4. Click Save.

    If your shortcut does not work, the yellow flag remains. Open it and enter the correct path.
