What is a Shortcut on my Home screen?

You can now fully configure your home screen by creating powerful shortcuts. Speed up many of your daily tasks and save a lot of time.

Make often-used issues, projects, boards directly accessible on your home screen
Pre-configure templates for fast issue creation and avoid repetitive entries
Configure searches, activity streams, scanners and place them on your home screen
