  1. User SUPER was utilizing OPS SQL Shortcuts before migration to WIMS. Example :
  2. Once migration to Hach WIMS has been completed, user SUPER logs in and percieves loss of shortcuts. Example:
  3. Shortcuts are not lost, they are just not shown in Hach WIMS (as of version 7.0.0). Instead of shortcuts, Hach WIMS uses more powerful dashboards.

  6. Choose user for whom you wish to generate a dashboard. Click OK.

  8. Go to File/Save. Name your report and click OK
  9. After report has been saved, it is now ready to be assigned to users as their how dashboard. 
  10. Repeat Steps 4-10 for as many users as you require.
  11. Open to Preferences/ My Preferences
  12. Scroll down toward the Home Dashboard for setting. Click on the setting button
  13. Pick dashboard report and click OK
  14. My Preferences screen will now be showing your selected report. Click on Save then Close.
