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
Enter any URL and the app will try to open it directly when the tile is clicked
Select from any application installed on the device to create a 1-click shortcut to launching the app
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
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
