Using shortcuts (tiles)

Desktop tiles may contain shortcuts to either a favorite or an overview. Click a tile to open the overview or the application linked to the favorite.

The tile’s icon indicates whether it links to a favorite or an overview:

• The icon identifies a link to a favorite.
• A link to an overview is identified by the icon for the area where this overview is located (such as for Master data).

You can create, rename, and delete shortcuts.
