Using Ziik as a launchpad to your other applications

Ziik has a built-in feature where you can set-up shortcuts to help your Users easily accessing your other commonly used applications.

About Shortcuts 

You can create shortcuts in Ziik for your users to make it easy for everybody to access commonly used web services and applications. A shortcut link is an URI to a browser or a mobile device. Shortcuts can be applied at all levels in your organisation and assigned to individual user roles steered by the User Type.

How about Signing In? 

Shortcuts in Ziik send your Users direct to your other applications. Each application is responsible for the Signing In and Authentication of your Users. However modern applications have a built in feature that memorise users sign-in credentials, which means that users are automatically signed in to their commonly used applications.
