The Shortcut tile is a quick way to open another app, webpage, file or switch dashboards

To start, put the app in edit mode and click on Add Device -> Shortcut

Select one of the following options

* **Link** - this lets you enter a URL
* **Select Application**... - select another Android app on the device to open
* **Select Dashboard** - select a dashboard config file to load

## Link

* Enter any URL and the app will try to open it directly when the tile is clicked

## Dashboard

* Select any previously saved dashboard config files to load
* This can let you switch between multiple dashboards or between multiple hubs. Each dashboard config file contains everything needed to restore the dashboard state

## How to switch between 2 dashboards

* You'll need to configure each dashboard and then do a backup locally on the phone/tablet you want to view them on. For reference, I'll call these A and B
  * NOTE: You can switch between 2 Hub's in different locations as well.. just make sure you have the cloud token set on both of them
* Start with dashboard A and add a new shortcut tile to it -> dashboard -> pick the other dashboard config file (B)
* Make sure to do another backup after you added the shortcut tile
* Clicking on this tile will now open the dashboard B
* You now need to add a shortcut pointing back to dashboard A so repeat the previous 3 steps and again make sure you do a backup to save the newly added shortcut tile
