Shortcut

Adding a Shortcut tile to the dashboard (launch an app, switch dashboards, open a web page)

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

Application

• Select from any application installed on the device to create a 1-click shortcut to launching the app

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
