Select Profile and Image

From the Profile drop-down menu, you can then select any profile that exists in the system.

Profile Menu

Profiles are saved on the Administration > Interfaces > Integration page. In addition to creating the profile, you must also create a representation that includes the Product Start Page option and assign the profile to the representation. The profile will not appear in the Profile menu above unless its representation has this option selected.

Representation with Product Start Page Selected

The profile defines where you want the shortcut to link to, as well as the image file you want to appear on the shortcut. If you do not upload any image files for the profile, the default file will be used.

Select Background Color

Click the icon under Color Selection to select a background color for the shortcut.

Color Selection Icon

Use the color palette and gradient picker to select the color you want to appear as the shortcut's background.

Color Selection Tool

The first color you add is used as the dashboard object's background color. Subsequent colors you add are not used in the shortcut.

Click Save and Close to save the dashboard object and review it on the dashboard.
