Creating a Shortcut

Creating a Shortcut

To create a shortcut, configure the shortcut name, description, and the object to which you want to create the shortcut.
To create a shortcut:
  1. In the Shortcuts view, select the folder that you want to create the shortcut in, and click
    Actions
    New
    Shortcut
    .
    The New Shortcut window appears.
  2. Enter the shortcut properties and select the object in the metadata catalog or business glossary.
  3. Click
    OK
    .
    You cannot add logical groups as a shortcut. For example, an Oracle resource uses logical groups to organize tables and indexes. You cannot add these objects as a shortcut.
