Viewing Shortcut Properties

You view the properties of a shortcut in order to confirm or change the target of the shortcut.

When you have created a shortcut in a folder or on an EcoStruxure BMS server using the File-New-Shortcut submenu or the context menu New-Shortcut option, you must then also assign a target to the shortcut. It is not necessary to assign a target to a shortcut after using any other shortcut creation method.

When you delete a target object, the forward reference in all shortcuts referencing that target object is removed. Also, the shortcut object icon changes to display the shortcut overlay icon only (a small arrow in a square).

When you delete a shortcut object, the (backwards) reference held in the target object is removed.

When you move a target object, the shortcuts referencing that target are updated with the new target path in their (forward) target object reference. When you move a shortcut object, the (backwards) reference held in the target object is updated with the new path.

When you rename a target object, the shortcuts referencing that target are updated with the new target path. If you rename a shortcut object, the (backwards) reference held in the target object is updated with the new path.

When you duplicate a shortcut object, the (backwards) reference held in the common target object is updated with the additional path to the new shortcut. For more information, see Configuring the Target of a Shortcut .
