Creating, Editing Shortcuts

About shortcuts

In order to illustrate, this setup is made:
View 1 & View 2 
  • Offers, O1V1 & O2V1 in View 1
  • Offers, O1V2 in View 2 
 
 
 
 
Since there is only one Offer in View 2, it is not shown.

Creating shortcuts

Below steps guide you through creating shortcuts.
1. Go to Admin > Customize > Content. Edit View 2, which is now empty, so you're going to make Shortcuts of elements from View 1 where there is content. 
 
 
2. In the plugins panel, expand Others > Shortcut.  In the following screen, select your View, from where you want to pull an item or create a shortcut of it.

3. Offer displays with its contents. Click on any item that you want to create a shortcut on the empty Offer. You can click on more than one item.
