Quick launch

Open common files and links quickly

The Quick Launch function of HelpMaster is a quick access point to all your regularly used favorite files, folder locations, documents and web sites. Think of the Quick Launch menu as a short-cut system to access your files, website and applications, similar to a browser bookmark, or Windows shortcuts.

The Quick Launch screen is accessed via the HM menu, or via the small QuickLaunch button located in the top-right corner of HelpMaster.

The Quick Launch screen is similar in look and feel to the Attachments screen that is displayed on Jobs and Actions.

Use

Once you have added files to the Quick Launch screen, they can be accessed via the smail button located in the top-right of the HelpMaster application title bar. Click on this button to display a drop-down list of all your Quick Launch items. Items may appear as a simple list, or grouped into folders according to their file type. Change this setting via the “Categorize “Quick Launch” items checkbox found in the User Preference screen.
