Adding a handy link to your desktop

You can put commonly used links to pages and reports on your desktop for easy access.  Some examples are:

  • EW Assist front door - https://ewassist.co.uk/cc
  • A particular page e.g. People page - navigate to the required page and copy the URL in the address bar
  • A report e.g. Leave cycles - open the report and copy the URL in the address bar

To add a link on your desktop, right click on your desktop and select New > Shortcut.  In 'Type the location of the item:' paste or type the URL of the webpage or report you wish to add and click Next.  In 'Type the Name for this shortcut:' type a name that describes its destination e.g. Leave report, John Smith, open injuries etc and click Finish.

A new icon will have been added to your desktop.  Double clicking that icon will open your browser and navigate to the URL.  So long as you are logged in it will go directly to the page or report, otherwise EW Assist will ask you to login first and then proceed to the page or report.
