# Shortcut

## Overview

The Shortcut dashboard widgets category provides fast-access tools for navigating daily laboratory workflows without leaving the dashboard. These widgets are designed to reduce repetitive clicks by keeping frequently used applications, URLs, and operational queues visible in one place. Together, they help teams jump directly to high-priority actions, monitor pending work, and standardize navigation across shared dashboards. Shortcut widgets are especially useful in ELN and LIMS environments where users repeatedly switch between list views, records, and external resources throughout the day.
