Create and Edit Quick Actions
Quick Actions are shortcuts to boards, pinned notification templates, external URLs, and maps. As an administrator, you determine if Quick Actions appear on a user's homepage, and which shortcuts are available. You can create up to 24 Quick Actions and arrange them in your preferred order by dragging and dropping.
The admin homepage, available in the Admin View, has three pre-configured Quick Actions that cannot be changed.
