Customized Shortcut Links
Overview
You can add customized shortcut links directly to BusinessPlus pages under the standard page menu Screen Links. Use this feature on a page to navigate to other screens based on values in the selected record without needing to type the entire screen name in the search bar. This feature is not available for custom framework screens like ARBTCRIC, POUPPP, APOHPPSP, SIOECR, etc.
