# 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.

### Creating Shortcuts for iOS

**About iOS URL Links** - You will need to ask the iOS App provider for their URL Scheme. If they don't have a built in URL scheme you should ask them to make one and indicate what pages in the App you wish to open from Ziik.

Go to Quicklinks in the menu.

1. Press "**Create Shortcut**"

4. Decide **who should see** the Shortcut by selecting Units and Roles.
5. Select **"Android"** and Save

Note that the Shortcut now is visible in Android only.

### 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.
