The Quickbar Settings tool allows you to set your own personal shortcuts to frequently accessed Applications and Sections with ease rather than navigating throughout the Content Browser to locate them. The Quickbar consists of Shortcuts and Containers and is located to the upper left area of your Intranet.

 

A Shortcut is an icon that you set to link to an Application or Section within the Intranet.  When you click on this quick link icon, the connected Application or Folder appears in the document window.  The shortcut is automatically given a default icon, which depends on the Application and Section.

 

A Container is an area that stores your shortcuts, keeping everything organized for you.  To access each Container of Shortcuts, click on the appropriate tab, which you are able to customize with a descriptive title.  Once a container is created it is located on your Quickbar and can be accessed by clicking on the tab name.
