Shortcuts

Shortcuts appear on the Start Screen and can be limited to scopes. Each Shortcut has a title, image, link, priority and scope.

All staff are able to create shortcuts for any scope to allow them to manage the shortcuts for their own classes. Shortcuts will always appear for the user that created them.

Staff have an additional shortcut that links to the shortcut manager.

Scopes are added to the shortcut search if they apply to the current user.

The scopes can either be a name or RegExp pattern.
