Creating a Global Shortcut in the Navigator

To create a global shortcut in the Navigator:

In the Designer, connect to the local repository and open the folder in which you want a shortcut.

The global repository appears in the Navigator below the local repository. If it does not, the repository to which you are connected is not registered with the global repository.

In the Navigator, connect to the global repository appearing below the local repository.

The Designer expands the global repository, displaying folders for which you have permission.

If the Designer does not allow you to connect to the global repository, you might need to reconfigure aspects of the repository domain.

In the global repository, drill down through the shared folder until you locate the object you want to use.

Drag the object into the destination folder in the local repository.

After you drop the object, the Designer displays the following message:

Create a shortcut to <object type> <object name>?

If the object is not saved in the repository, the Designer displays a message asking if you want to create a copy of the object. To create a shortcut, cancel the operation, save the object, and then create the shortcut.

When prompted for confirmation, click OK to create a global shortcut, or click Cancel to cancel the operation.

The shortcut now appears in the Navigator.

Click Repository > Save.

You can now use the shortcut in this folder.
