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

  • Link external apps for fast access and authentication

  • Your configured home screen is displayed on all your devices on iPhone, iPad, Android, and Mac

You are able to configure multiple shortcuts of the same issue type. Also shortcuts can be renamed or deleted by taping select and then taping on the rename or delete option on the bottom of the screen. Shortcuts can be move by long pressing and then moving them.

At the moment, there are about a dozen available Shortcut types. We will continue adding new ones over time.
