4.7 Enabling Shortcut Menu

The Shortcut menu displays a list of links to users. To make it available for users, you need to enable this feature. After enabling this feature, users can access it on the Main Menu. You can add a number of shortcuts for users.

Perform the following steps:

  1. In Configuration Editor, click Modules > Shortcut Menu.

  2. Configure the following settings:

    Setting

    Description

    Enable Shortcuts

    Select this check box to make it available for users.

    Shortcut Items

    Specify the shortcuts you want to make available to users in this format: label::url::ldapQuery::description

    Here,

    • label: Label of the shortcut that user will see.
    • dapQuery : LDAP syntax style query. Users must match this query to access the shortcut.
    • url http: URL of the Web page for which you are adding the shortcut.
    • description: Description of the shortcut.

    For example, if you want to add a shortcut for the NetIQ home page, the value would be NetIQ::http://www.netiq.com::(objectClass=person)::NetIQ Home Page.

    Shortcut Headers

    Specify HTTP headers to control the list of visible shortcuts. Values must correspond to the label values specified as part of the shortcut items. When this header is present, the system does not use the ldapQuery part of the shortcut items and displays shortcuts only if the label is present in the header.

    You can set the values separately or by comma separating the values. A blank value disables this feature.

  3. Click the Save icon.
