Creating Report Template Shortcuts

1. In Explorer go to View --> Configuration Options.
   
   
   
   
2. Go to Report Shortcuts.
   
   
   
   

3. You can choose Add to create a new shortcut or Edit to change a current shortcut. In the top pane enter the body of your document you want to create a shortcut for.
   
   

   Note:

   Please ensure you put an extra return on the end of your report. In the "Shortcut to replace" field enter a series of characters that will be replaced with your document.

   Make sure you don't make the series of characters a word as it will be replaced with your shortcut in the document.

   
   
   
   

4. To use your new shortcut create a new message by pressing the button indicated in the screen shot below.
   
   
   
   
5. Now enter in the body of the message the characters you put in the "Shortcut to replace" field. In this example we have typed "tst" if we press space after the "tst" it will be replaced with our shortcut document.
