Creating a Shortcut Button
Shortcut buttons can be created on any custom toolbar in iNEWS. Customization is not
permitted on the standard toolbars.
These buttons can be used to shorten tasks, such as initiate macros, opening sessions, or
navigating to specific locations in the database. The procedure in this section covers the button
creation for all possible options. For information on an alternative procedure for creating a
“navigation shortcut button”, see
“Creating a Navigation Shortcut Button” on page 119.

If you just created the toolbar, and the Toolbars dialog box is already open, you can skip steps 1
and 2, and begin with step 3.
To create a shortcut button:
1. Select View > Toolbars, or right-click on any customizable iNEWS toolbar.
The Toolbars dialog box opens.
2. Click the check box next to the customizable toolbar you want to work with.
3. Click Customize.
The Customize Toolbar opens.
