Creating Shortcuts

For easy access to items that you are tracking, you can save shortcuts to them on your desktop. Opening a shortcut starts the application, opens the project view in the configuration it had when the shortcut was created, and displays the Properties dialog box for the item.

To save a shortcut to an item, do the following:

1. Select a folder from the folder tree or in the upper pane on the Folder tab.
2. Click the appropriate component tab.

3. This opens the Save As dialog box.

   Right-click an item in the upper pane and choose Save Shortcut.

4. Type a name for the shortcut in the File Name field if you do not want to use the default name.

   Be sure to keep the .stx extension.

5. Select a location, usually your desktop, for storing the shortcut and click Save.
